Acknowledgments
Over the course of many years, I have received numerous grants to support research for this book. Major sources have been the Fulbright Scholar Program, a faculty summer research grant from Hobart and William Smith Colleges, the Metropolitan Center for the Study of Far Eastern Art, the Northeast Asia Council of the Association for Asian Studies, and the Westport Fund of Kansas City. Moreover, my research could not have been accomplished without the enthusiastic support of the many sencha tea masters, pupils, and collectors I encountered in Japan.
I am especially indebted to the Tanaka family of the Kagetsuan sencha school in Osaka and my mentor there, Fujisawa Akiko, who helped me decipher numerous tea treatises. Otsuki* Mikio, professor of Chinese studies at Hanazono University and researcher at Manpukuji's Bunkaden (museum/treasure house), generously provided his scrupulously researched and often unpublished references to sencha in Obaku* primary sources as well as introductions to various curators and collectors. I also received invaluable assistance from others at Manpukuji: Tanaka Chisei, curator of the temple's Bunkaden, and Morimoto Nobumitsu, the late director of the National Japanese Sencha Association, and his staff, who invited me to numerous sencha gatherings, gave me free access to their private library, and photocopied for me numerous rare editions of premodern books on sencha. Tsukuda Ikki of the Issa-an sencha school in Osaka helped clarify my understanding of the historical development of sencha, loaned me old books, and
