We just finished a new book on John (Nakahama) Manjiro entitled "Drifting
Toward the Southeast." It's a translation of his interrogation by the
Tokugawa shogunate in 1852. Includes paintings and maps. It's being printed
now but will be available in mid November. Information on the book and
sample pages available at http://www.spinnerpub.com/
Call if you have questions (toll free number listed on website)
