In our 65 years of tenure we have had less than five copies of his signed examples. They are IMPOSSIBLE AND ALMOST NEVER APPEAR ! . *** This work covers the American gap in knowledge of the Japanese during the war. The Japanese unpredictability a costly myth, the tide of racial hatred, militarism, modern quest, women, marriage & morals, regimentation of the people, exploitation of the poor, the strength and weakness of the Japanese character.

Blyth's office staff, and is with the following presentation: "December 31, 1943, Happy Birthday Mr. Blyth from your office force & "Rip." The book was signed by R.H. Blyth dated 1964, the year in which he died. . *** REGINALD HORACE BLYTH [1898-1964]: He was an English writer and devotee of Japanese culture. He is most famous for his writings on Zen and on Japanese Haiku poetry. . Korea (1925-1935) In 1925, the Blyths moved to Korea (then under Japanese rule), where Blyth became assistant professor of English at Keijo Imperial University in Keijo (now Seoul). While in Korea, Blyth began to learn Japanese and Chinese, and studied Zen under the master Hanayama Taigi of Myoshin-ji Keijo Betsuin (Seoul). In Korea he started to read D. T. Suzuki's books about Zen. In 1933, D.T. Suzuki became his mentor. . Having returned to Seoul in 1936, Blyth remarried in 1937, to a Japanese woman named Kijima Tomiko, with whom he had two daughters. In 1940 they moved to Kanazawa, Japan, which was D. T. Suzuki's home town, and Blyth took a job as an English teacher at the Fourth Higher School (later Kanazawa University). . When Britain declared war on Japan in December 1941 following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Blyth was interned as a British enemy alien . By 1946, Blyth had become Professor of English at Gakushuin University, and became private tutor to the Crown Prince (later emperor) Akihito until the end of his [Blyth's] life.[6] He did much to popularize Zen philosophy and Japanese poetry (particularly haiku) in the West. In 1954, he was awarded a doctorate in literature from Tokyo University, and, in 1959, he received the Zuihosho (Order of Merit) Fourth Grade. . *** BLYTH'S CONTRIBUTION: Blyth lived and worked in the East for forty years, until his death in 1964 at the age of sixty-six. From the time of his internment in Japan during World War II, Blyth wrote assiduously. In the 1950's, his "ZEN IN ENGLISH LITERATURE" and "ORIENTAL CLASSICS" and "HAIKU" reached enthusiastic readers in America and Europe. Aldous Huxley describes Blyth's work as "illuminating." As William J. Higginson writes in his "HAIKU HANDBOOK," thanks to Blyth "a new interest in Japanese Haiku began to grow among poets of the immediate post World War II generation." . Blyth's Contribution to cross-cultural understanding was manifold. In 1945, Blyth assumed a post as professor of English at Tokyo's Gakushuin University, the former Peers' School. For almost twenty years he tutored Crown Prince Akihito, the present Emperor. Blyth played a leading role in Emperor Hirohito's historical declaration of January 1, 1946, that he was a human being rather than a god. Blyth edited numerous writings from English and American literature, making them available to avid Japanese readers. . *** CONDITION: This book is bound in the publisher's red cloth, with dust jacket intact but missing a 'v' shaped piece at the top edge, the bottom edge has a wrinkle and ha. …
