Thank you, Doug. I am having trouble finding the Yoku Japanese home offices
- allegedly in a small town south of Kyoto, normally flooded in the Spring.
However I have since learned - also in a Google search - that the real Yoku
home and origin of the form is in China, however I cannot seem to find the
home office - though there is some rumor that Yoku has been absorbed into
the Manga Offices. Interesting, along the way, it's been rumored that Ron
Silliman's New Sentence theory emerged from a study of the Yuko, and the
Yuko may well be the formal source and foundation of his Chinese Notebook.
I forget if the rumors "implied" or "inferred" that.
