Since 1941 Jack Seward has been involved with the Japanese language as student, teacher, and author of more than thirty books.  He has also been a lecturer on Japanese culture and communication as well as a professional interpreter and translator.  In 1986 the emperor of Japan awarded Seward the Order of the Sacred Treasure, Third Class, for his efforts to deepen understanding between Japan and America.  Seward, a resident of Japan for twenty-five years, now lives in his native Texas with his Japanese wife.
