Author Information

"DOROTHY BRITTON-writer, poet, and composer-is half English and half American, and was born in Japan. Educated in all three countries, she studied composition with Darius Milhaud at Mills College in California. Her suites Yedo Fantasy and Tokyo Impressions were described by the American Record Guide as a highly successful ""translation of the koto-samisen aesthetic into Occidental terms."" Besides music, she has published poems, essays, articles, and books in both English and Japanese, as well as numerous translations. She is the author of The Japanese Crane and co-author of National Parks of Japan, and more recently she has translated Princess Chichibu's autobiography, The Silver Drum. SHIRO TSUJIMURA is a ceramic artist and painter working in Mima-cho, in the hills above Nara, Japan. After a short tenure in a Zen temple in his youth, he turned to art, spending the next seven years teaching himself how to throw pots and paint. His work is exhibited regularly throughout Japan, and can be found in private and museum collections in Japan, the United States, and Europe. His pieces have also been shown in New York, London, and Frankfurt."
