SAMURAI SHODOWN II HUMBLE FRAME ISSUE SERIES

I am likewise deeply indebted to Albert Craig and the late Harold Bolitho, who read portions of the work that п¬Ѓrst took shape as seminar papers early in my graduate school career, and let me know in no uncertain terms when they expected better and why.

While at Harvard, I also had the great good fortune to learn about Korea from Carter Eckert over a series of courses and seminars,ДЄnd beneп¬Ѓted enormously from his insightful comments on the dissertation. I thank him for the hours he spent reading this work in its various iterations, and the time he generously gave me beyond that to discuss it.

Matsuzawasensei had an uncanny knack for dismantling my most cherished misconceptions about Japanese history in the kindest and most encouraging way imaginable. I was also fortunate enough to meet Matsuzawa Hiroaki early on in my graduate days, during a year he spent as a visiting professor at the Reischauer Institute of Japanese Studies. I wish to thank п¬Ѓrst and foremost Andrew Gordon, who as my graduate school adviser kindly shepherded me through the process of turning a vague idea into a manageable research project with the patience of a saint at every turn, in spite of my false starts and lengthy detours along the way. This book began as a dissertation in Japanese history at Harvard University. Any faults and shortcomings that remain in spite of their eп¬Ђorts are entirely my own. This book is a case in point, and it is now high time for me to give proper thanks to all those who made it a better work, as well as those who helped to keep me on track and safe from utter discouragement throughout the ordeal. One corollary to this observation is that the longer it takes to produce a manuscript, the more people its author becomes indebted to. Research and writing require not only time and eп¬Ђort on the part of the individual whose name eventually goes on the cover, but also help, support, and inspiration from many, many others whom the author is fortunate enough to meet in the process.
