Book Description
Excerpt from The Nightside of Japan Many books have been written on Japan by the Europeans, but as everything was observed with their European eyes, the true features of the country of the "Rising Sun" could not be satisfactorily exhibited by them. This book is written by one of the Japanese, and although the subjects treated in the book are often trifling matters and belong to things not very important, yet it is sure the reader will find neither fallacies nor misunderstandings, into which foreigners are liable often to fall.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Japanese Nightingale The last rays of sunset were tingeing the land, lingering in splendor above the bay. The waters had caught the golden glow, and, miser-like, seemingly made effort to keep it with them; but, inexorably, the lowering sun drew away its gilding light, leaving the waters a dark green. The shadows began to darken, faint stars peeped out of the heavens, and slowly, unwillingly, the day's last ray followed the sunken sun to rest; and with its vanishment a pale moon stole overhead and threw a seraphic light over all things.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Maid of Japan She was of the sea, the little white maiden. Sixteen years ago a woman had come down to the shore on such a night as this with her life's ower, a tiny bud then, in her arms. She stood alone on the stainless sands and watched a great ship sail away under the moon; and her heart went with it in the keeping of one who neither knew nor cared. He was a man of a distant land, a lazy, blue - eyed man who Would not forego his pleasure, but preferredto have it authorised - a Philistine to whom some Calvinistic forefather had bequeathed a lively belief in the tortures of the damned. It was the strongest dogma of his creed, and no temptation was yielded to unless he could arrange to cheat the Prince of Darkness of the hold it might otherwise have given him upon a self-indulgent yet timorous soul.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from It Happened in Japan Two men, side by side, were slowly pacing the deck of the Empress of India on her outward voyage to japan. A week had almost passed since the boat had sailed from Vancouver, and the extremely bad weather encountered until this afternoon had prevented all but the most hardened good sailors from penetrating from below. Now, however, the wind and sea had somewhat abated, the first ray of sun had brought the storm-tossed and sea-sick from their berths, and the broad decks were soon swarming with passengers of both sexes, whose faces and general demeanour expressed entire satisfaction at their restored liberty.

Book Description
Excerpt from The House of the Misty Star: A Romance of Youth and Hope and Love in Old Japan You see I 'd lived about fifty-eight years of solid monotony, broken only by the novelty of coming to Japan as a School teacher thirty years before and, although my soul yearned for the chance to indulge in the frills of romance, opportunity to do so was about the only thing that failed to knock at my door. From the time I heard the name of Ursula Priscilla Jenkins and knew it belonged to me, I can recall but one beautiful memory of my childhood. It is the face of my mother in its frame of poke bonnet and pink roses, as she leaned over to kiss me good-by. I never saw her again, nor my father. Yellow fever laid heavy tribute upon our southern United States. I was the only one left in the big house on the plantation, and my old black nurse was the sole survivor in the servants' quarters. She took me to an orphan asylum in a straggly little southern town where everything from river banks to complexions was mud color.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Japanese House-Party In her private sitting-room on the first floor a young woman was sitting lazily dreaming by the fire, one cold, rainy day in the beginning of April, before the bright japanese spring weather had properly begun. The fire danced and sparkled brightly, feeling how necessary it was for human comfort on such a disagreeable.

Book Description
Excerpt from Strangers in Strange Lands Strange to say, nearly all Japanese country 170l who come to visit Tokyo are invarabl y seen, wearing red blankets which hang down over their shoulders, and they wonder at the sights and delights of the ever-interesting Capital. Hence, the nickname, Red Blanket, is applied to a country gentleman, peasant, rustic, or bucolic pleasure seeker. It must not be supposed that Japanese gentlemen, going abroad, are not likely to expose themselves as Red Blankets in the eyes of the Western people. How many men of rank, art, science, and letters in japan have already crossed the sea and brought back with them honors as well as dishonors! How many accidents and incidents, joyful or shameful, did they leave behirrd as footprints in the sand of time! How often have their quips and pranks have made the sad old world laugh!
