finds enduring fellowship in an Americanesque, locally-iconic square dancecaller named Mac O’Jima—better known to his crowd as “daddy”. It was“daddy” that introduced hundreds of his neighbors to our common interest ofsquare dancing, and her we offer our humble “Thank You” for a lifetime ofdevotion. We at Grand Square, Inc., present images of Japan as we suppose itto be, and images that “daddy” wanted the American square dance communityto see. In unedited form, we include his “History of Square Dancing in Japan”. —A Special Thanks To The Japan Tourism Authority—
