Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan as We Saw It The modes of travel, methods of living as travellers, and habits and peculiarities of the people herein given, are reproduced from the writer's journal without any attempt at literary polish, and are based on his own experiences. The expense is such as a man and wife desiring to see Japan under the most comfortable conditions must necessarily meet, when stop ping at the best hotels or inns, travelling first class upon railways and steamships, and in other ways not attempting the close economy sometimes practised by travellers. The writer, with his wife, having devoted exactly four months to the trip, finds that - including cost of through tickets from Boston to Yokohama and return each), sleeping-cars, dining-cars, living expenses at hotels and inns, wines and cigars, entertainment of friends, railroad, steamship, and Jinrikisha expenses, wages and transportation of Japanese attendant, donations to servants, and, in short, everything but articles purchased the entire cost is under gold; or, to be exact, It should however be borne in mind that practically as much may be seen, and at less expense, by those who are content to accept more humble accommodations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan and America: A Contrast This book is not written to exaggerate the prob lems or to alarm Americans. It is the sincere wish of the author that the problems find a peaceful solution and that the ocean which separates Japan from the mainland of America remain pacific in fact as well as in name. But a solution is not to be found until the problem is stated in definite terms, nor does it aid toward a better understand ing of the situation to give the Japanese credit for a sentiment they do not possess, and attribute to them a code of morality which is as strange to them as is hard kart to us.

Book Synopsis Present-Day Japan (Classic Reprint) by : Augusta M. Campbell Davidson
Download or read book Present-Day Japan (Classic Reprint) written by Augusta M. Campbell Davidson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Present-Day Japan The letters which form the groundwork of what will be found in the following pages were not in the first instance intended for publication. The writer's apology for adding to the already large number of books on Japan is the frequently-made suggestion that they might prove to be not without interest to a wider circle than that for which they were originally intended, as reflecting the experience of a person arriving in Japan with no feeling but curiosity and gradually falling under the influence of its manifold charm through the sympathy brought by increasing familiarity. The contrast between first impressions and those received after some degree of such familiarity had been acquired has suggested to the writer that in the case of Japan - more, perhaps, than in that of most foreign countries - the pleasure of a visit depends greatly on a knowledge of the associations connected with what is seen; she is, moreover, convinced that the present achievements of the nation are best understood when considered in the light of its past and with reference to the ethical forces which acted upon it during the centuries of its seclusion.

Download or read book Shin Hanga written by Barry Till and published by Pomegranate Communications. This book was released on 2007 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shin hanga ("new print") movement flourished in Japan for almost fifty years after being set in motion and nurtured by publisher Watanabe Shozaburo (1885–1962). Employing the traditional "ukiyo-e quartet"—a production system consisting of artists, carvers, printers, and publishers—shin hanga attracted Western as well as native artists. The studio teams created woodblock prints that updated traditional ukiyo-e ("pictures of the floating world") prints by including Kabuki actor portraits, "beauties," and landscapes and other nature themes, often birds and flowers. With lavish illustrations and expert commentary, Shin Hanga: The New Print Movement of Japan details the shin hanga movement and presents splendid reproductions of works by its principal artists.

Download or read book Japan and the Japanese (Classic Reprint) written by Richard Hildreth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-18 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan and the Japanese The Kami of the first dynasty, the seven superior gods, being regarded as too elevated above the earth to concern themselves in what is passing on it, the chief object of the worship of the adhe rents of this ancient system was the goddess Tensio dai-bsin, already mentioned as the first of the demigods, and the supposed progenitor of the Dairi, and of the whole order of the Kuge. Of this Tensio dai-bsin, and of her heroic and miraculous deeds, a vast many fables were in circulation. Even those who had quitted the ancient religion to embrace the new sects paid a sort of wor ship to the pretended mother of the Japanese nation; and there was not a considerable city in the empire in which there was not a temple to her honor. On the other hand, the religion of the Kami, by its doctrine of the apotheosis of all great saints and great heroes, gave, like the old pagan religions, a hospitable recep tion toall new gods, so that even the rival demigod, Buddha, came to be regarded by many as identical with Tensio dai-bsin, a circumstance which will serve to explain the great intermixture of religious ideas found in Japan, and the alleged fact, very remark able, if true, that, till after the arrival of the Portuguese missiona ries, religious persecution had never been known there.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brown Face and White: A Story of Japan A man's voice, deep and sonorous, called in the exquisite twilight of a Japanese summer evening. And the faint echo which came back from the rocky hill-side bounding the Mission House garden on its eastern side answered, Eileen! Eileen! Over the hill-crest, on the steep sides of which, here and there, beeches, larches, pines, camphor trees, and maples grew, the last rays of the setting sun had streamed in a golden and crimson glory but a very short time before; for dusky twilight follows sunset very rapidly, and the stars in the Japanese sky creep out less stealthily than with us.

Book Synopsis The Story of Old Japan (Classic Reprint) by : Joseph H. Longford
Download or read book The Story of Old Japan (Classic Reprint) written by Joseph H. Longford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Old Japan The writer, in this book, has endeavoured to tell the Story of Japan from the creation to the accession of the present Emperor, when Old Japan - the Japan of feudal ism and seclusion - may be said to have come to an end and a new nation to have been born, which was destined to startle the world by a wondrous display of military, legislative and industrial progress. There are many Histories of Japan by English or American writers, and in the works of Kaempfer, translated from the German - Dickson, Adams, Griffis and Murray abundant material will be found by those who desire to form more than a general acquaintance with the subject. Those who desire to extend their inquiries still further, to acquire an esoteric knowledge of special periods, personages, or great political or economic movements, will find a storehouse closely packed with golden treasures of information in the Transactions of the Asiatic Society of Japan, every volume of which contains able monographs by scholarly experts who have investigated in Japan the varied subjects with which they deal. Above all, they will find the beliefs, held by the Japanese themselves, faithfully mirrored in the exact translations of native classics, which have been made by Satow, Aston, and Chamber lain, the three great English scholars, whose knowledge of the Japanese language and literature does not fall below that of the most accomplished Japanese literati. All these works, whether histories, monographs or trans lations, are for the serious student, rather than for the lay reader, who, without leisure for painstaking studies, may still desire to possess some knowledge of the inter esting mythology and history of a country that is now playing so great a part in the theatre of the world, that is bound to our own by close political and commercial ties. It has been the aim of the present writer to supply this deficiency and to provide a narrative, in logical sequence, of all the great periods in Japanese history, written in a style which will render its perusal no greater task than that of an ordinary novel, to tell, in fact, The Story of Japan throughout the long ages of the past, just as the novelist tells the story of his own heroes and their lives. An attempt has been already made to tell this story in an even more concise manner in a series of articles in the Nineteenth Century and After. It was the interest which, the writer found, was aroused by these articles among his own associates that tempted him to use the wealth of material that was at his disposal and his own knowledge to extend the articles into the present volume.
