Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan, Vol. 1: Described and Illustrated by the Japanese There is no one who is better equipped to edit or to write a work of this sort than Captain F. Brinkley, of Tokyo, who has spent forty years of his life in the Orient, a great portion of that time as correspondent of the London great dailies and as editor of the Japan Mail. It gives me the greatest pleasure to recommend him to all serious students of Japanese history. It must be apparent to any one who is paying attention to the present history-making epoch in the Orient that in the future the diplomatic as well as the business connections between Japan and America will be of far greater importance than they have ever been. It is difficult enough for two nations who speak the same language to thoroughly understand each other. It is far more difficult for two nations who speak different lan guages, whose traditions are unlike and whose nearest neighbours are frequently at variance with their respective policies.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Japan, Vol. 8: Described and Illustrated by the JapaneseIt is probable that very few foreigners ever learn to appreciate Japanese dancing. One reason for their want of sympathy is that they approach the study with prejudiced minds. Their conception of dancing is that it must be either musical gymnastics deriving their charm from harmony of sound and motion, and pleasurable chiefly to the performer, or a spectacular display, like the Occidental bal/ct, representing large combinations of graceful movements, enhanced by splendid scenery and accessories of painting and sculpture. But in Japan dancing has primarily a mimetic purpose. With rare exceptions, the dance represents some historical incident, some mythical legend, some scene from the realm of folk-lore or superstition. The technique is elaborate, and although the motions never suggest muscular effort or display abnormal contortions, it is nevertheless certain that physical training of the most rigorous character cannot be dispensed with, and that the very ease of the seemingly smooth and spontaneous action results from art hidden by its own perfection. It is also certain that the mechanics of the dance are as nothing to the Japanese spectator compared with the music of its motion, and that he interprets the sfacmfo and legafo of its passages with discrimination amounting almost to instinct and, in some degree, hereditary. In excep tional cases the foreigner's perception may be similarly subtle, but he must generally lack the faculty of apprehending the esoterics of the dance, and thus finds himself in the position of a'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.
