       We are especially indebted to Kansai Gaidai University, which has supported our research in a variety of ways and to Professor Kataoka Osamu who provided us with recent findings on prehistoric architecture. Other individuals who provided special assistance are Yoshimoto Norihito, Yoshinori Okayama, and Teresa Hurst. Institutions that were especially helpful are Ainu Minzoku Hakubutsukan (The Ainu Museum) and the Kokuritsu Rekishi Minzoku Hakubutsukan (National Museum of Japanese History). We would also like to thank the Imperial Household Agencies in Kyoto and Tokyo, the Izumi City Board of Education, Jingū Chōkokan (the museum affiliated with Ise Jingū), the Ise Shrine Office, Murōji Temple, Tōshōgū at Nikkō, the Rekishi Kaidō Promotional Council, Akita City, SANYO Electric Co. Ltd., and the many other institutions that provided us with information and pictures. Two books in Japanese that have been of special help are Nihon Kenchiku no Mikata (How to Observe Japanese Architecture) by Miyamoto Kenji and Shūfuku no Techō (Restoration Notes) by Bunkazai Kenzōbutsu Hozon Gijutsu Kyōkai (Japanese Association for the Conservation of Architectural Monuments). We are indebted to Murata Noboru, Suzuki Toshikatsu, Luca Tettoni, Toshitaka Morita, and Michael Yamashita, for granting permission to use their work to supplement photographs taken by the authors. Finally, we are grateful for the untiring assistance of our editor, Noor Azlina Yunus.
