Summary
Vitriolic attack on Japanese publishers, in the form of a public letter, for not paying him the royalties on his books that he is owed, despite his numerous legal efforts to claim them through the efforts of “international lawyers.”
Subject
  • Authors and publishers > Legal status, laws, etc. > Japan
  • Copyright > Japan
  • Public domain (Copyright law) > Japan
  • Publishers and publishing > Japan. > Polemical literature.
Note
  • Excludes two Japanese publishers from this condemnation, saying they “have done right by me”: Kodansha and Yomiuri.
  • Singles out for praise Shiro Hayasaki, the editor of the Weekly Post.
  • “So, in desperation, I am making public my complaint in the hope that through some miracle I may regain a portion of the monies due me […] anywhere from one hundred to two hundred thousand dollars. […] There was a time when the Japanese were known for their honor and integrity. Let us hope there is still a little left.”
