Who would image I debut in SF story? Even if it's bit part. I will come just only one time on p.179. Also this book is written by Germany. So unfortunately, I cannot read this book. But here is English translated edition; "This is one of the greatest master pieces of our most important composers Ken Kinoshita; not a Chinese, however, since the Japanese island were integrated as a equal-rights-colony. We learned about their cultural works and enjoy their meaning and grace."
