Very sad news!  Harry was the 1st guy to befriend me when I started collecting.  We meet in the food court of the Japanese grocery store across the street from the old Chicago sword show in Arlington Heights IL.  RIP Harry and condolences to his family!

Very sad news.He was a delightful man to deal with and his contribution tot this subject was immense. His Koza and Fujishiro translations still have pride of place on my book shelves.
