2) Two letters, 13 December 1994 and 17 January 1995, relating to a search for information and for a possible speaker for the CWAJ 1996 lecture series, to speak on the Shinto background of sumo. DS agrees to help find a suitable speaker but warns against the risk of “going against Japanese ‘political correctness’ [as] many of the most noticeable Shinto aspects of modern sumo are, arguably, modern additions”. 2 page pdf.
