Stuart, 

Thanks for your preview. I think you have more than enough sources for some good 
thoughts. One book you may want to look at is Th. Buchheim (Hg.) _Destruktion 
und Uebersetzung: Zu den Aufgaben von Philosophiegeschichte nach Martin 
Heidegger_ VCH-Verlagsges., Weinheim 1989, ISBN 3-527-17688-8. In 
particular, there are several papers included on translating Heidegger's 
thinking into the Japanese context.

Best wishes,
Michael
