To my parents, Katsushi and Fumiyo Watanabe
I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to all who contributed in no small part towards the publication of this book.
First and foremost, I would like to thank Lydia Leong, who gave me the opportunity to work with a fabulous team at Marshall Cavendish. Also, a big heartfelt thank you to the editor, Audrey Yow, for providing guidance and allowing flexibility in the content presentation for this book. Special thanks to Liu Hongde for the beautiful photography and to Lynn Chin for providing art direction. This is an incredibly professional team that helped create something we can all be proud of.
