Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jinrikisha Days in Japan This book has only attempted to present some of the phases of the new Japan as they appeared to one who was both a tourist and a foreign resi dent in that country. No one person can see it all, nor comprehend it, as the Jinrikisha speeds through city streets and over country roads, nor do any two people enjoy just the same experiences, see things in the same light, or draw the same conclusions as to this remarkable people. Japan is so inexhaust ible and so full of surprises that to the last day of his stay the tourist and the resident alike are con fronted by some novelty that is yet wholly common and usual in the life of the Japanese.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diaries of Court Ladies of Old Japan Izumi Shikibu's Diary is written with extreme delicacy of treatment. English words and thought seem too downright a medium into which to ren der these evanescent, half-expressed sentences and poems - vague as the misty mountain scenery of her country, with no pronouns at all, and without Verb inflections. The shy reserve of the lady's writ ten record has induced the use of the third person as the best means of suggesting it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Japanese Nightingale Out in the bay that the sun had left was a tiny island, and on this a Jap anese business man, who must also have been an artist, had built a tea house and laid out a garden. Such an island! In the sorcerous moon light, one might easily believe it the witch -work of an Oriental Merlin. Running in every direction were nar row jinrikisha roads, which crossed bewildering little creeks, spanned by entrancing bridges. These were round and high, and curved in the centre, and clinging' vines and creeping, nameless flowers crawled up the sides and twined about the tiny steps which ascended to the bridges. After crossing a bridge shaped thus, a straight bridge is forever an outrage to the eye and sense. And all along the beach of this island was pure White sand, which looked weirdly whiter Where the moon beams loitered and played hide-and seek under the tree-shadows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tales of Old Japan Another class to which no allusion is made is that of the goshl. The Goshi are a kind of yeomen, or bonnet-lairds, as they would be called over the border, living on their own land, and owning no allegiance to any feudal lord. Their rank is inferior to that of the Samurai, or men of the military class, between whom and the peasantry they hold a middle place. Like the Samurai, they wear two swords, and are in many cases prosperous and wealthy men, claiming a descent more ancient than that of many of the feudal Princes. A large number of them are en rolled among the Emperor's body-guard; and these have played a conspicuous part in the recent political changes in Japan, as the most conservative _and anti-foreign element in the nation. With these exceptions, I think that all classes are fairly represented in my stories. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
