Foreword

“When we were together on dinner he told me, ‘I have formulated my own system for press freedom; in my writings I avoid writing about press, worship, politics, manners, highly-positioned personalities, Opera, and any outstanding figure in the society. However, I can write freely about any thing else. Therefore, I am so happy.'”
