NOTE ON JAPANESE NAMES

All are given here in Japanese order, with the family name before the personal name. In the name Matsuo Basho, for example, Matsuo, the family name, is given first. In referring to famous writers, however, Japanese often use the personal name only; this practice has also been followed here in discussions of famous poets like Basho and Buson.
