Takeda Kiyoko was co-founder of the Institute of Asian Cultural Studies at the International Christian University (ICU) in Tokyo, where she was based from 1953. She received a PhD in Literature from the University of Tokyo in 1961 and became a professor emerita after her retirement in 1988. Over the course of her career, she published extensively on Christianity in Japan and held leadership positions in ecumenical organizations in Japan and globally. Through involvement in international ecumenical organizations, she contributed to restoring friendly relations and mutual understanding between Japanese and other Asian peoples after the Second World War. She was President (Asia-Pacific) of the World Council of Churches (1971-1975). Vanessa Ward, the translator, is an independent researcher based in Wellington, New Zealand. She has a PhD in East Asian History from the Australian National University and her research focusses on intellectual life and culture in twentieth-century Japan (especially the fifteen-year period after the end of the Second World War).
