Reviews

""Kodera's work makes fascinating reading for anyone curious about Dogen's background in Sung China. A sterling translation of Dogen's Hokyo-Ki, supported by careful annotations and historical background material ... Happily,it has the merit of being informative without ever being stuffy. Minus Kodera's careful annotations, much about this text would remain obscure and the author's work helps to put it in proper context."" - Richard Hunn, Kyoto, Kansai Japan (review on Amazon)
