Supporting commentaries by Yukio Mishima and Donald Richie provide thoughtful personal perspectives from both the 1960s and the present - just when national acknowledgement of Japan's ancient gods is again politically contentious.  American China expert Orville Schell reflects on his 30 years of reading "between the lies" on China, and Morgan Gibson recalls Elizabeth Vining, Quaker tutor to Japan's former Crown Prince, now Emperor.  Contemporary ruins along Shikoku's 88-temple pilgrimage are observed through a post-modern lens by Sean O'Toole, and Robert Brady lays cyberclaim to anything that can be spelled in "Colonization.com."  Diverse traditional Japanese views of the constellation Orion are explored by Dr Steven Renshaw and Saori Ihara, while David Jenkins employs medieval Japanese poetry to track the Kaiser's Navy* to the stars, and finds moon-dust in Africa.  In Kyoto, Australian poet Harold Stewart attains perfect faith. Plus fiction by Suzanne Kamata, reviews of books and music, poetry from Korea by Ch'on Sang Pyong, Encounters in India and Japan, and Voices, an eclectic collection of relevant quotes.
