BECAUSE OF FAITH AND REVERENCE, AND IN SPITE OF ERRORS WHICH I KNOW TO BE INEVITABLE, I DARE INSCRIBE THIS BOOK TO YAMATO DAMASHII PREFATORY NOTE No character in this book, belonging either to public or private life, is taken as a whole or in part from any person. The characters are wholly imaginary, and no incident is based on any real incident known to the writer. Even in the descriptions of official buildings, memory is laxly used. In the genre studies alone is realism attempted. Most, if not all, of the questions, remarks, and speculations put into the mouths of peasants and servants have been overheard by the writer. THE |
