Note: for convenience of online viewing, the pages of this book have been rearranged as to start from first to last with pages turned to the left as in common use with printed media in the western hemisphere. The original japanese version is read by turning the pages to the right, hence you would have to start at the back of the document in sequential online view-ing. Reading of the frames still starts top right to bottom left on each page as in the original edition (see comment on page 5).
