      AUTHOR’S NOTE

       All Japanese names are given in the traditional order, with the family name first. As is customary, famous cultural figures are referred to by their given name, not their family name. Traditional Japanese architecture is subject to an ongoing process of addition and alteration, and it is often impossible to definitively state when a particular building was completed. Many dates (birth, deaths, constructions, demolitions, and so on) are still debated among historians. In each case, I have taken the most commonly accepted date, or that provided by the institution or family in question.
