Dr Nakata is a TT specialist and also the co-translator of TT into Japanese:
Wakashima, Tadashi and Akiko Nakata, trans. Tomeina Taisho (Transparent
Things) Tokyo: Kokusho Kankokai, 2002. The edition is a gem of the
bookmaker's art. In addition to the novel text, there are thirty-odd pages
of original annotations, many with illustrations and an afterword by
Tadashi Wakashima. ISBN4-336-04029-X
