Translator's Notes and References
1. ↑ The Japanese character (kanji) for river is kawa (川). It looks like 3 (approximately) straight lines being put together. The author is implying that the three of them slept parallel together, just like that character.
2. ↑ The Japanese word for this is seihin 清貧 which means 'living in poverty for the sake of one's pure conduct, not for one's self-interest.'
