A Glimpse at the Art of Japan (Classic Reprint) by James Jackson Jarves Pdf

Excerpt from A Glimpse at the Art of Japan The orthography of Japanese proper names varies considerably among writers, but the author has fol lowed those who seem to be the best authority; and the objects described or engraved are chiefly taken from his own little collection. It has been the nu expected interest shown in the few slight sketches of Japanese art, which he published in English and American journals several years ago, that has led to this fuller treatment of the topic.

Life of Japan (Classic Reprint) by Masuji Miyakawa Pdf

Excerpt from Life of Japan Although much that may be called phenomenal has happened since the publication of the first edition in July, 1907, nothing has occurred which seems to the author to require any alteration in the substance of the work, though he has occasionally modified the form and expression and amplified somewhat the views stated in the first edition. Viscount Kaneko has kindly written the introduction to this edition, so the author will say but little. The American loversi of literature on Japan will remember the last and perhaps the greatest work of the American writer, Lafcadio Hearn, "Japan," which created a sensation in its exposition of the so-called confidential letter written by Herbert Spencer to Viscount Kaneko, - a confidential letter aimed at the late Prince Ito. This incident has nothing to do with this work, though prefaced by the receiver of the Spencer letter, according to Lafcadio Hearn. The Viscount's relation to the book is that of a critic and not that of a writer of any portion of it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Sketches of Japanese Manners and Customs (Classic Reprint) by Jacob Mortimer Wier Silver Pdf

Excerpt from Sketches of Japanese Manners and Customs It has several curious symbols, the most striking being huge aerial fishes, in imitation of the 'koi, ' or carp large crimson streamers, repre sentations of Gongen Sama crushing a demon; and the heads and tails of crayfish, with which they decorate their dishes and the entrances of their houses. The floating fish flag is hoisted over every house in which a boy has been born during the preceding twelve months, and is emblematical of his future career. AS the koi, ' or carp, ' which is very plentiful in Japan, finds its way up streams and rivers, surmounting all obstacles in its way, and rendering itself by its fecundity and edible qualities useful to the whole country, so the child is to make his way through life, boldly fulfilling his destiny, and proving himself a useful and beneficial member of the community. In the same way, the scarlet streamer indicates the birth Of a female child, and the domestic nature of her duties. The crayfish are used to remind the people of their humble origin (it being traditionary that the empire originated from a race of poor fishermen), and the consequent necessity of humility, temperance, and frugality, in their different stations in life.

Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan (Classic Reprint) by Lafcadio Hearn Pdf

Excerpt from Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan 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 disappointed 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 these volumes, and how much remains to do.
