Book Description
Excerpt from The Japs at Home These chapters have perhaps a chance of being fresh, for they were composed, not by the midnight oil, but by the midday sun - literally. These notes, forming a horary rather than a diary, constitute the subject matter of my book, which pretends no more than to give my impressions of Japan and the Japs. I have not wittingly asserted anything which is not a fact, and when I make an unsupported assertion only state it as my impression. The sojourner among a secretive people cannot easily do more.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Color-Prints of Old Japan What are they? Is a question often asked by those looking for the first time at a collection of Japanese prints. To say that they are chromoxylographs, is to give an answer strictly accurate. But as this is more concise than simple, it may be well to say in non-technical, popular language that they are prints in colors from engraved wooden blocks, as many blocks and impressions ordinarily being required as there are colors. In Europe towards the end of the eighteenth century similar prints were produced, but as their reception by the public was not such as to encourage their makers, there was no development of the art comparable with that in Japan in the same century.

Excerpt from Around the World Through Japan These notes and impressions are published in the hope that they will recall pleasant days to those who have been around the world and through Japan, that they will prepare those who are about to make a similar tour for some of its inevitable disappointments as well as enjoyments, and that they will prove not altogether uninteresting to those who neither have been nor intend to be globe-trotters.

Book Description
Excerpt from Japanese Impressions, With a Note on Confucius: Translated From the French by Frances Rumsey; With a Pref, by Anatole France M. Couchoud, from the moment he saw Japan, loved it not only for its cleverness, and its astound ing promptitude in borrowing from Europeans weapons with which to combat them, but for its fine love of beauty, its courtesy, its exquisite art of living and for a sentiment for nature of an unequalled penetration. Were it not that his curiosity is universal and that he is possessed by a need to see and comprehend everything, he would, like Lafcadio Hearn, have adopted a Japanese life and passed the remainder of his days in a joint appreciation, with this people so dedicated to the love of landscape, of the festivals of the first snow and the bursting of the cherry trees into flower.

Book Description
Excerpt from Impressions of a Journey Round the World: Including India, Burmah and Japan I Have not a little hesitation in committing to print anything so modest as the enclosed rough notes of a voyage round the world, the more so because from its title the reader may not unreasonably suppose that he is about to peruse a record of stirring incidents and exciting adventures. For such incidents this book will, I am afraid, be scanned in vain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan: First Series IN the Introduction to his charming Tales of Old Japan, Mr. Mitford wrote in I 8 7 I: The books which have been written of late years about Japan have either been compiled from official records, or have contained the sketchy impressions of passing travellers. Of the inner life of the Japanese the world at large knows but little: their religion, their superstitions, their ways of thought, the hidden springs by which they move, - all these are as yet mysteries. This invisible life referred to by Mr. Mitford is the Unfamiliar Japan of which I have been able to obtain a few glimpses. The reader may, perhaps, be dis appointed by their rarity; for a residence of little more than four years among the people - even by one who tries to adopt their habits and customs scarcely suffices to enable the foreigner to begin to feel at home in this world of strangeness. None can feel more than the author himself how little has been accomplished in this volume, and how much remains to do.
