I second the recommendation of Roland's piece.
Having written on Kaeriyama, I knew about the sex book, but still
haven't read it, since it was out of my period. Kaeriyama's 1910s
writings are so stuffy (especially in comparison to Gonda at the time),
that it is hard to imagine him getting into such a topic, but as we all
know, individual psychologies can be quite complex.

Back when I was working at the Iowa library about 15 years ago, we were
always amazed at the books that Toronto was accumulating. Perhaps
someone from Toronto can give us the history (at Iowa, we heard it was
because some alumni were donating good books and magazines), but
Toronto does have one of the best collections for Japanese film amongst
North American libraries. We, at Yale, are trying to catch up.
