Author Biography

Charles R. Temple, writer and book publisher, lived in Japan for many years as an editor and book designer for John Weatherhill, Inc., renowned for its publication of elegant and authoritative books on Japanese art. Temple is a collector of Japanese prints and wood sculptures, and of the stories and tales that provide the most popular themes for Japanese artists. In 2001, he was project director and editor of Takarabukuro: Treasure Bag, a handsomely crafted book containing an English translation of a diary kept by Mitsuhiro, a nineteenth-century Japanese netsuke sculptor. Currently, in addition to his own writing, he volunteers time as a writer/editor for various nonprofit agencies in San Francisco, including the city's prestigious Asian Art Museum.
