The curriculum vitae elsewhere on this site is a document of record for my publications and professional activities. It lists my publications in chronological order, which is of archival value perhaps but of little use otherwise. Thus, in the pages within this section of the web site, I have grouped my writings over the decades into the major thematic rubrics that have concerned me most: Japan, anthropology, and sport studies. Almost all of them have a link to the pdf version of the publication.
