I am dying to know how faithful these translations are to the original. Does anyone know where the Japanese text can be found? This is like Firbank:

"He continued with this unexpected outburst, and his eyes took on a crazed look. With one arm he held his pet Pekinese, while with the other he waved an unsheathed spear menacingly. No one dared go near him."

Thanks again for your fascinating posts - glad to see you have stepped up the pace!
