<div>Dear Norihiko and Randy, <br></div><div><br></div><div>In reading Norihiko's obituary my eye caught 'Kinki University', and I remember how much Tsugu enjoyed the pun in this name. I met him in 2003 knowing his work already for some years. I expected him to be dower and humorless, because his scholarship is so careful and sober, and I could not believe that this down right goofy fellow was the great scholar himself. It has been such an honor to have had him as a friend in the years since and I am very sad to hear of his passing. <br></div><div><br></div><div>The reason I am writing is because I have an OK good collection of his works, which I share at the link below. I think that I am missing several early works and the most recent works, but it is a start toward what Randy proposes. <br></div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://we.tl/t-QZYe3SDOIy">https://we.tl/t-QZYe3SDOIy</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>He just came out with an article on wood slips published in a volume edited by Kazushi Iwao and Yoshiro Imaeda, which I have not yet been able to consult. <br></div><div><br></div><div>best, <br></div><div>Nathan<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block"><div class="protonmail_signature_block-user">Sent from <a href="https://protonmail.ch">ProtonMail</a>, encrypted email based in Switzerland.<br></div><div class="protonmail_signature_block-proton protonmail_signature_block-empty"><br></div></div><div><br></div><div>‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐<br></div><div> On Saturday, April 3, 2021 2:24 PM, Randy J.
