Trade Review
"A reference work that is at once comprehensive, stimulating, and potentially useful to both a specialist and non-specialist readership... I cannot imagine a scholar or student in the field of Japanese studies who will not be grateful to Earl Miner for creating the happy combination of talent, energy, and expertise in the Miner-Odagiri-Morrell team, which made the Companion happen."--Eleanor Kerkham, Monumenta Nipponica "[The] Companion is superb... It is one of the most important reference tools ever to have appeared in the field of Japanese studies and its writers have earned our gratitude as well as our admiration... All this information, a whole library in a single volume, is--thanks to its original structure--extremely easy to use."--Donald Richie, The Japan Times
