祟り Tatari==The Blessing Way [Japanese, paperback, 1970]

This is the first translation of The Blessing Way into Japanese. The work was translated by Kikuchi Misu. Though in paperback, this edition includes a full color dust jacket designed by Michiyasu Kono and a bookmark ribbon.

Note from Louis Hieb's Tony Hillerman Abroad: "The Japanese title [Tatari] conveys the meaning of 'Curse (or Evil Spell)'" (Heib, 1993:[27]).
