Ross Bender has posted materials related to the Japanese poet Yorifumi Yaguchi on his blog Mennonite Oku no Hosomichi. He writes:

I have been posting [Yaguchi] materials on my Osoroshii Menonaito Nikki blog the past few weeks. These include photos of a 1967 pastors' conference in Hokkaido which my father and I attended as part of his "Project Contacting Younger Churches" when he was Dean of AMBS. I've included several paragraphs from his diary of that trip. Also photos by missionary Charles Shenk of me, my dad, and Yaguchi. Also a scan of an early Yaguchi volume of poetry including his picture and biography on the flyleaf. Also photos of my 2005 visit to Yaguchi, scans of his "God of War" in Japanese and English, and MP3s of him reading "God of War" in Japanese and English.
