Item Description
An interesting piece of news I came across recently: Donald Keene, a former professor of Japanese literature at Columbia University in New York, announced that he planned to become a Japanese citizen. Keene has seen for himself the many facets of life in Japan through extensive study of its traditional literature, as a translator and interpreter for the US Navy during World War II, as a student at Kyoto University, and then through annual summer visits.
