The life and work of Yoshida Saburo in relation to the Showa-era farming situation in Akita

吉田三郎1938年出版的书(最初是用日语出版的)的英译本完成了，并提交给了美国的几家学术图书出版商。几十张原始照片中，除了一张外，其余都被获得了，包括使用神奈川大学横滨校区日本民俗文化研究所(阁楼博物馆)拥有的一些照片的权利。使用费是用研究补助金支付的。其中一家出版社(一家暂时不具名的大学出版社)的一名编辑对这份手稿非常满意，并接受了它的考虑。随后将其提交给两名匿名研究人员进行同行审查。在接受同行评审期间，该手稿被提交给哥伦比亚大学(纽约)唐纳德·基恩中心，以获得年度林德斯利和三吉正生翻译奖，它是三位获奖者之一。同行审议的答复是积极的，尽管其中一项答复有些批评。进行了修改，然后将手稿重新提交给了挑剔的裁判。挑剔的裁判对修改感到满意，现在手稿正面临着媒体董事会的决定。这份手稿的命运预计将在2023年5月做出最终决定。吉田三郎1938年出版的这本书的英文版有望在2024年出版。

The English translation of Yoshida Saburo's 1938 book (which was originally published in Japanese) was completed and submitted to several academic book publishers in the United States. All but one of the dozens of original photographs were acquired, including the rights to use some which were in the possession of the Institute for the Study of Japanese Folk Culture (Attic Museum) at Kanagawa University's Yokohama campus. The usage fees were paid using the research grant money. An editor at one of the publishing houses (a university press that will remain unnamed for the time being) was very pleased with the manuscript and accepted it for consideration. It was subsequently submitted to two anonymous researchers for a peer review. While under peer review, the manuscript was submitted to the Donald Keene Center at Columbia University (New York) for its annual Lindsley and Masao Miyoshi Translation Prize, for which it was one of three winners. The peer review responses were positive, although one was somewhat critical. Revisions were made, and then the manuscript was re-submitted to the critical referee. The critical referee was pleased with the revisions, and now the manuscript is facing the decision of the press' board of directors. A final decision on the fate of the manuscript is expected in May of 2023. It is hoped that the English version of Yoshida Saburo's 1938 book will be published in 2024.
