This collection of commentaries and reflections on Japanese culture, first published in 1904, was written shortly after the return of two English aristocrats from five years spent immersed in the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’. Their intention through these anecdotes – some humorous and charming, others tragic and thought-provoking – was to offer glimpses into the "real inner spirit of the native life," and to provide insights into the remarkable idiosyncrasies of Japanese society during a period of unprecedented change. Touching on such diverse topics as sport, religion, music, censorship, drama and bathing, The Heart of Japan will be of particular interest to students of Japanese, as well as to those intrigued by cultural difference and exchange.

Not illustrated. 1903 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN MISSIONARIES AND MISSIONARIES WHENEVER our roaming along the byways of Japan brought us to the door of a missionary home we went in and found a welcome. There was always room for two more at the missionary's table, and if we could stay for the night there were always futon enough for a couple of extra beds. This hospitality was due partly, perhaps, to the fact that both he and we were far from home, partly to the genial influence of Japan, where the very atmosphere breathes welcome, but chiefly because the missionary himself was a good fellow--a man living pleasantly and setting a wholesome example. The example is not exciting, but it is as an example he is most effective. The missionary is taken seriously, as a rule, except when the Mail, the Herald, or the Gazette, being short of copy, gives him opportunity to point out in print the weak spots in the creeds, the customs, the rites, or beliefs of his brother missionaries of other sects. The Japanese smile at him then, and the Buddhists say: "August divergence of august opinion apparently existing is among the teachers of religion from the West." Then they rub their polls and become abstracted in contemplation of the Absolute. The Imperial Govemment likes the missionary, and the Mikado decorated one some years ago. Later he and his family were granted all the rights of citizenship. The Minister of State, in transmitting the papers, declared that the Empire was to be congratulated on having so worthy a man within its borders. When this reverend gentleman was presented to the Court of the Heaven-Descended, he gave his Imperial Majesty a Bible, the only one that ever found its way within the palace gates. Like other folks who accomplish things, the missionary comes in...

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.
