Some of the illustrations have been moved so that they do not break up
paragraphs and so they correspond to the text, thus the page number of
the illustration no longer matches the page number in the List of
Illustrations.
Repeated chapter titles have been deleted.
Throughout the document, vowels having macrons in Japanese words are
indicated by vowels having circumflexes. For example, English word for
the Japanese capital (currently written in Japanese romanji as toukyou)
used to be written as Tokyo, but with macrons associated with each
letter "o". In this text the Japanese capital would be written as Tokyo.
Throughout the document, there are instances where punctuation seems to
be missing, but it is unclear whether the missing punctuation is
deliberate or what the missing punctuation should be. In those cases the
punctuation was not "corrected".
Also, throughout the document, the [oe] ligature was replaced with "oe".
Passages in italics were indicated by _underscores_.
Small caps have been replaced with ALL CAPS.
Sometimes in the text the word "Samebito" was italicized and sometimes
it was not italicized. That inconsistency was persevered.
In the third footnote, which began on page 15, there was a missing close
quotation mark. That "error in punctuation" was not changed, as it
appeared in a quotation from another work.
On page 55, a period was added after "Kibun-Anbaiyoshi".
On page 57, "Setagawa" was replaced with "Setagawa".
On page 140, two footnote markers point to footnote 83. That is because
the footnote is about the two words marked by the two footnote marker.
That was how it was in the original text.
On page 143, a transcriber's note was added right after the illustration
explaining the connections draw between the five elemental-natures and
the Japanese syllabary.
On page 178, an emdash was added after "Sixthly,".
On page 178, "processsion" was replaced with "procession".
