Since 1966 when Anais Nin visited Japan after the US publication of her Diary, Japanese scholars have been studying, analyzing and translating Nin's work. Little known abroad, Japanese Nin studies have been one of the most astute and consistent in the world. This English-language collection features works by Japanese scholars, writers and translators over the past several decades up to the present time and offers the reader a unique view of Anais Nin, the writer and the person. Sixteen essays, with illustrations, make for an important addition to global Nin studies.
