G.G. | 237 comments I wonder if I might trouble a kind librarian to combine the separate listings of In the Shelter of the Pine: A Memoir of Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu and Tokugawa Japan (also: In the Shelter of the Pine: A Memoir of Yanagisawa Yoshiyasu and Tokugawa Japan--and add the book to my profile: G.G. Rowley. Note that I am the translator, not the author, of In the Shelter of the Pine. The author of the original Japanese text is Ōgimachi (family name; Japanese=正親町) Machiko (first name; Japanese=町子), dates ca. 1679-1724. It'd also be hugely helpful if you could add the cover, which can be found here: https://cup.columbia.edu/book/in-the-..., as well as on the various Amazon sites.
My grateful thanks in advance for your help!

Thank you very, very much for taking the time to correct all this! Everything looks great now: I really am grateful to you. The original Japanese title of the work is Matsukage nikki (Japanese: 松蔭日記). It's also known as Matsukage no nikki (Japanese: 松蔭の日記). Date of completion: ca. 1712. The work circulated widely in the form of manuscript copies before it was first printed in 1885. If there's any further information I can provide, please don't hesitate to get in touch!
