"Reflections include personal experience, from wartime to the present [of Japanese society and culture]; travel in Japan; and naturally, some brilliant pieces on literature and language. . . . The dozen or so chapters on travel in Japan are positively exhilarating. . . . Equally, the most devoted and knowledgeable admirer of Kyoko will find new insights of value here. . . . The essays . . . would be hard to match for depth of interpretation and clarity of exposition." — Asian Affairs
