520 1  "For many years, anthropologists have understood the Zuni 
       Indians of the American Southwest to occupy a special 
       place in Native American culture and ethnography. Their 
       language, religion, and blood type are startlingly 
       different from all other tribes. What is most puzzling, 
       however, is the fact the Zuni appear to have much in 
       common with the people of Japan." 
520 8  "In this book, Dr. Nancy Yaw Davis examines the evidence 
       underscoring the Zuni enigma - " a theory," she suggests, 
       "with a thousand themes." In a meticulous piece of 
       detection and scholarship, Davis describes the 
       circumstances that may have led Japanese on a religious 
       quest, perhaps searching for the legendary "middle world" 
       of Buddhism, across the Pacific and to the American 
       Southwest more than seven hundred years ago - one of the 
       most astonishing examples of transoceanic human mobility 
       in history."--Jacket
