It is a Japanese convention that in written references to names, the family name is placed before the given name. In most English-language publications, the Japanese name order is made consistent with the English practice where the given name is followed by the family name. The editors of this volume allowed each contributor to use his or her own preference. When in doubt, readers are requested to refer to the bibliography and the index.
