Beal, Jr., then Head of the Chinese Section in the Orientalia Division of the Library of Congress, issued the first newsletter of the Committee on American Library Resources in the Far East (CALRFE). Dr. Beal was then Chairman of that Committee, which would later become the Committee on East Asian Libraries (1967) and later the Council on East Asian Libraries (1995). The publication of the group underwent similar name changes, from Newsletter to Bulletin (1977) of the Committee on East Asian Libraries, to Journal of East Asian Libraries of the Council on East Asian Libraries. The first newsletter, mimeographed on Library of Congress letterhead paper, begins “Dear Colleagues . and Friends, Herewith my first attempt at a Newsletter.” Dr. Beal first reports that permission was received from AAS for the Committee to issue a Newsletter and then goes on to write of technical processing questions, acquisitions, and personnel matters—items specific in content to the era and particular libraries, but in topic and theme, familiar to all of us today. This first issue, as well as later issues of our organization’s publication, can be found in the online Digital Collections of the Harold B. Lee Library of Brigham Young University, at http://www.lib.byu.edu/dlib/spc/jeal/. Reading through them gives one a wonderful understanding of the history of our organization and East Asian collections in the United States. When I read several of the issues recently, I especially noticed the dedication of all involved in the enterprise of acquiring and making available materials from East Asia for scholars and students in the U.S. and their commitment to making information and resources available. I also noticed how apt a phrase “colleagues and friends” has been to describe our association with each other in this work. Decades have passed since that first newsletter, and the name of our organization has changed, and also the name of our publication. What has not changed is the dedication and commitment that we feel to our shared enterprise of making information about East Asia available to all who need and use it, and our sense of being colleagues and friends engaged in this joint effort. In this issue of the Journal we celebrate the life and contributions of one of these colleagues, Naomi Fukuda, who dedicated her life to the work of libraries and scholarship. One of the things I like best about being Editor of the Journal of East Asian Libraries is that it helps me become a friend and colleague of contributors to JEAL. I have exchanged emails with many of you and others from around the world about articles and reports, and I have learned so very much by working closely with contributors and their writings. I welcome and am grateful for the chance to do this. To thrive, our journal needs the same sense of shared dedication and commitment that have long characterized our profession. From its first issue forty-five years ago, our organization’s publication has always reflected the interest of its members in giving the best quality library service to patrons and in promoting high standards for the profession of East Asian librarianship. Thank you for trusting me to be a part of this good work.

NAOMI FUKUDA Yasuko Makino Princeton University When I was asked to write a eulogy for Ms. Naomi Fukuda, I wanted to include the words and tributes from Japanese studies librarians in the United States who were fortunate to know Ms. Fukuda in person, as well as from some faculty members and students who took her bibliography course. Most of these people have retired, and some returned to Japan, so I contacted them by letters and telephone calls. Several eulogies of Ms. Fukuda will be included in this special Memorial issue of JEAL as separate entities. Hence, this is our combined eulogy, a tribute to Ms. Fukuda, and her legacy. Soon after I contacted retired Japanese librarians who had known Ms. Fukuda asking for words about her, I received a hand-written memo of a speech written by Ms. Fukuda for the occasion of the retirement reception held in her honor by the Center for Japanese Studies of the University of Michigan, on April 24, 1978. It was Mr. Masaei Saito in Japan who sent me the memo. Mr. Saito worked at the International House of Japan under Ms. Fukuda, and later succeeded her as the Associate Head and Curator of the Japanese Collection at the Asia Library of the University of Michigan. Mr. Saito, in his letter, said that he kept Ms. Fukuda’s memo for three long decades anticipating the coming of “this day,” the day we remember and celebrate Ms. Fukuda’s lifetime of accomplishments, dedication and devotion to the betterment of librarianship and of Japanese studies. I was so touched. According to the memo, Ms. Fukuda graduated from Tokyo Women’s Christian College (Tokyo Joshi Daigaku) in 1929, the beginning year of the Great Depression.
