Book Description
Excerpt from The Miscellany of a Japanese Priest: Being a Translation of Tsure-Zure Gusa Many are the books written on Japan and the Japanese. They are mostly written by those travel lers who went out to Japan on a longer or shorter visit, and who, as the Japanese say, travelled like dumb men.' But few, few are the books which try to introduce to the West the beautiful products of the Japanese mind. Of the former we have already had too many of the latter we can never have enough. For what is the good of writing books merely to excite the curiosity in the reader by telling him of many queer things about a country It is high time that Japan was studied from a more serious than a tourist's point of view. To visit a country in search of the beautiful in nature is scarcely worth the expense involved, while to study it in search of the beautiful in man not only repays the trouble an hundredfold, but indirectly conduces to the peace of the world at large. And to this end there is nothing like a study of its literature, always an index and mirror of a nation's mind.
