This extraordinary collection of scholarly articles and literary translations, published nearly twenty years after the 1996 symposium, offers a fitting tribute to the multidimensionality of Ishimure's literary work and to the growing sophistication of ecocriticism. I enjoyed this book tremendously and learned a lot from it. -- Scott Slovic, University of Idaho, editor of ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment I was in the room when Ishimure Michiko magically read her work, for the first time, to an international audience at the ASLE-US and ASLE-J symposium in Hawai'i in the summer of 1996-and I also watched Ishimure-san as she smiled at a panel of young Japanese scholars who presented short papers about her work at the same conference.
