ISBN10: 0674056108, ISBN13: 9780674056107, [publisher: Harvard University, Asia Center, United States] Hardcover Black and white illustrations, 337pp, bibliography, index, very good in dustjacket. In "Seeing Stars", Dennis J. Frost traces the emergence and evolution of sports celebrity in Japan from the seventeenth through the twenty-first centuries.
