Book Description
Excerpt from Lotos-Time in Japan Flower festivals are the great national holidays in Japan, where every month has its floral favorite. Lotos-Time extends through July and August. In some respects midsummer is not the most favorable season for tourists, because of the damp heat and copious rains. But while the autumn air is drier and more bracing, it is only in summer that one can climb Fuji or visit Yezo to advantage; and summer has this further advantage, that the heat compels the natives to remove the fronts of their flimsy houses, so that the tourist can see every detail of family life, in countless interiors. Thus a trained observer might get material enough in a week or two for a volume of description, by taking either "the beaten, because most interesting tracks," or the more remote regions, where foreigners are rarely or never seen. And the longer he remains, the more will he realize the truth of Professor Chamberlains remark that in Japan the subject-matter for an author is so plentiful that "the chief difficulty is to know what to omit."
