who writes mystery stories in
which the hero is a Nisei,
Masao Masuto of the Beverly
Hills police department?
There were a number of
readers ready and able to pro
vide the answer. E.V. Gun
ningham is a pseudonym of
Howard Fast, a best-selling
author who also writes mysteries under the name of Wal
ter Ericson. Fast has written
such books as "Citizen Tom
Paine,” ''Freedom Road,”
“Spartacus,” and the recent
trilogy about a Chinese im

‘‘The Second-Generation,”
- and “The Establishment.”
Beverly TpHarada of Mon

suggesting that Takagi look
up Howard Fast in the refer

“Why didn't he (Takago) go

asked. “He would have got

U.A.P. Handbook’ annoys reader
SAN FRANCISCO — A soon-to-be released humor
book entitled “The Official J.A.P. (Jewish American Prin
cesses and Princes) Handbook was brought to the atten
tion of National JACA Headquarters by a community
member who took offense to the acronym.
Sharon Kato of San Francisco saw an advertisement
for the book in a June edition of Publisher's Weekly. The
paperback book, to be released in November, was written
by Anna Sequoia and published by the Plume Publishing
Co. of the New American Library. It is apparently simi
lar (in form) to last year's popular “The Official Preppy
Handbook.”
Although the book is a parody on the lifestyles and
myths of Jewish women and men, Kato did not like the
terms being used in the book, such as “Jap-dom” and
“Un-Jappy.” .
In her letter to the National headquarters, Kato noted
that she would write a letter of protest to the New Ameri

The crane fold is geometric in design, consisting or 14
lines or folds. Once the crane fold is made, he noted that its
four identical corners would be individually or separately fold
ed into shape. In the crane, he used two corners for wings, the
third for neck and head and the fourth for the tail. Using trie
four corners imaginatively, he perceived that he could fold a
dozen different types of birds.
.
He next conceived that with two pieces of paper and eignt
corners, he could develop even greater possibilities. It meant,
that four legged animals, with a head and a tail, could be devised.
While originating in Japan over 1,200 years ago, it remain
ed a hobby pursued by a small group of people. Paper was
then very expensive and only the rich could afford to use it for
recreation. It is probable that Origami was developed by the
nobility, and was practiced primarily among the court ladies,
who had the time and means, as well as intelligence (e.g. Mu
rasaki Shikibu) during the Heian period.
Beginning in 1603, the Tokugawa period brought stability
and domestic economic growth.-Many materials including
paper became more plentiful and available for everyone. This
led to the development of many types of paper crafts, among
them woodblock prints, calligraphy, paper cutting, origami,
kite-making and paper wrapping. Even today, there are experts
in all ot these fields.
Although hundreds of books on Origami have been pub
lished in Japan and have been bought by at least a million/
people, only a few are highly proficient in this art. A few ac
knowledged masters are able to fold from two to ten thousand
different objects and have spent their entire lifetimes in pursuit of their art. Some experts have been sent as cultural emis
saries to foreign countries by the Japan Foundation. The main
defect of these Origami books is the lack of adequate expla
nations.
,
However, any person with a little patience and slight dex
terity can learn to fold about 20 birds and animals. Beyond
that, progress-depends on imagination, as well as more pati
ence and time.
