EMAKIMONO owes its initiation to Mr Akihisa Hasé, of Tokyo, who undertook the
selection of illustrations, photographed the originals in colour (except the Boston Scroll of
the Heiji-Monogatari-Emaki, which was reproduced from a facsimile), and composed the
Foreword.

The Introduction to the art of the painted hand-scroll was written by Dr Dietrich Seckel,
Professor of Far Eastern Art History at Heidelberg University, who was also responsible for
the Illustrated Appendix and the Commentary on the Ippen-Shônin-Eden, which appears
in the Notes, helped to compile the Bibliography and Concordance, and co-operated in the
editing and printing of this volume.

The Publishers gratefully acknowledge the help of Peter C. Swann, Director of the
Museum of Eastern Art, Oxford, in editing the text of the English-language edition.

Typographical layout by Karl Mannhart.
