	The World of Genji (Rexroth)
		Nor is Ivan Morris insensitive to the ever receding subtleties encapsuled one in another, like Chinese boxes, that distinguish this novel from all others.
		As I say, Ivan Morris avoids such speculations, but nowhere does he rule them out, and his book lays firm foundations on which the many thousands of English-speaking people who love The Tale of Genji may rear whatever airy superstructures suit their taste.
		The only place I disagree with Ivan Morris is where he calls the hannya (the devil who speaks through the mediums who are called in when the girls it is killing are dying) the ghost of Lady Rokujo.

		Morris is an accomplished amateur golfer, with over a hundred serious competitions, including the Irish and British Amateurs and Irish and British Opens.
		According to Morris, they were all mad for it, ranging from playing, to reading out-of-date American golf magazines, to parsing Gary Player’s comic strip instructions, to engaging in fierce debates over this swing theory or that.
		Morris’ pungent commentary continues with "A Personal Miscellany of Irish Golf Holes." The 18 holes are described in the same sequence they appear on the course they represent.

	The World of the Shining Prince: Court Life in Ancient Japan (Kodansha Globe) \| By - Ivan Morris (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Ivan Morris also draws dozens of interesting parallels between Heian Japan and other societies throughout world history.
		Although forty years have passed since the first publication of Ivan Morris' "The World of the Shining Prince," no other book has appeared that can challenge either its elegance or its utility in introducing a Western audience to the glories of Heian-period Japan.
		Although written to provide cultural context for readers of the 11th-century "Tale of Genji" novel, Morris' study has serendipitously come to serve as well the growing legions of Westerners fascinated by Japanese religion, fashion and textiles, art, military sports, and fantasy folklore.

		TNOF offers a rundown of Japanese populist heroes from the past 2,000 years - all of whom are doomed to complete and utter failure - and provides a convincing analysis of why Japanese culture produces such men, and why their failures actually raise their status in the eyes of many of their fellow citizens.
		Morris was perhaps the leading Japan scholar of his day, but even he finds many of his subjects bizaare.
		In TNOF, Ivan Morris provides a much-needed look at - to most westerners, anyway - one of the oddest aspects of Japanese culture - the self-immolating hero.
