Excerpt from The Daimio's Head: A Masque of Old Japan The stage is set with a great screen representing the sacred mountain; paper screens are shifted to represent the various places in which the action occurs. Before the opening of the play, a line of screens extends across the front of the stage. When the audience is seated, a gong is struck and the Director of the Theater parts the center screens, and stepping forward addresses the audience. He is dressed in the costume which he will wear as Buchi in the play and carries the false head representing a badger-goblin under his arm. The director - Most honorable people, I salute you! I have made a play. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Warriors of Old Japan: And Other Stories The kind reception given to "The Japanese Fairy Book" has encouraged me to venture on a second volume of stories from Japan. I have invented none of these stories. They are taken from many different sources, and in clothing them with an English dress my work has been that of adapter rather than translator. In picturesqueness of conception Japanese stories yield the palm to none. And they are rich in quaint expressions and dainty conceits. But they are apt to be written in a style almost too bald. This defect the professional story-teller remedies by colouring his story as he tells it. In the same way I have tried to brighten the rather bare structure of a story, where it seemed to need such treatment, with touches of local colour in order to give emphasis to the narrative, and at the same time make the story more attractive to the foreign reader. Whether I have succeeded or not, the reader must judge for himself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Japanese Fairy Tales At last she was married to a brave warrior, and went away with him to live in another house Where there were but few servants. She was sorry not to have as many servants as she had had at home, because she was obliged to do several things for herself, which other folks had always done for her. It was such trouble to her to dress herself, and take care Of her own clothes, and keep herself looking neat and pretty to please her husband. But as he was a warrior, and often had to be far away from home with the army, she could sometimes be just as lazy as she wished. Her husband's parents were very Old and good-natured, and never scolded her. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Present-Day Japan The letters which form the groundwork of what will be found in the following pages were not in the first instance intended for publication. The writer's apology for adding to the already large number of books on Japan is the frequently-made suggestion that they might prove to be not without interest to a wider circle than that for which they were originally intended, as reflecting the experience of a person arriving in Japan with no feeling but curiosity and gradually falling under the influence of its manifold charm through the sympathy brought by increasing familiarity. The contrast between first impressions and those received after some degree of such familiarity had been acquired has suggested to the writer that in the case of Japan - more, perhaps, than in that of most foreign countries - the pleasure of a visit depends greatly on a knowledge of the associations connected with what is seen; she is, moreover, convinced that the present achievements of the nation are best understood when considered in the light of its past and with reference to the ethical forces which acted upon it during the centuries of its seclusion.

Excerpt from Japanese Grammar Self-Taught: In Roman Character The Japanese people. By their intelligence, energy, and enterprise - so remarkably displayed of late years - have raised their country to a prominent position amongst the Nations of the World, both politically and commercially. A great and growing interest, fostered by our recent alliance with its government, is being manifested towards the britain OF the pacific, and there is a growing necessity for a simple and inexpensive hand-book of the Japanese Language, which the present volume is designed to meet. The work is carried out in the roman character, as for all practical purposes of international communication the Roman alphabet is being steadily adopted by the Japanese themselves. The native characters are however given, together with the rules of transliteration and a number of illustrative examples, so that the student may possess himself of the key to native literature.

Excerpt from Selected Relics of Japanese Art, Vol. 15 In each of the six panels there was depicted a beautiful lady standing under a tree the locks of her hair and her garments were done with feathers, but the feathers have mostly been torn off and now but little trace of them is to be seen save outlines. Some time ago, when repairing these screens, a paper was found inside of one which contained, in writing, the date 26th day, 6th month. 4th year of tempyo-shoho (august loth. From this, it is to be understood that these panels were made at some time between the 4th and the 8th years of tempyo-shoho. The faces and hands of the persons were painted in c010urs, but wherever feathers had been irsed for decorative purpose, there is nothing now but simple lines. It is probable that the trees and rocks were done in monochrome from the very first. We may distinctly trace the brushwork of these pictures. And hence get a good idea of the character of pictorial art at that time! Although it was in an undeveloped state, we are led to suppose, from the method of depicting the complex character of trees and rocks, that probably they were copied from natural obiects: while the manner of representing the fissures in the rocks, suggests the influence of landscape artists of the T'ang dynasty, China. The lady playing with a jewel-shaped ball under a tree, shows the costume of the time: in this respect, it resembles the picture of Suri-devi, reproduced in the second volume of this series, and it is to be supposed that her face shows the ideal type of female beauty during the Nara era: from the suggestion of rouge on the flee, the thin black lines of the artificial high-eyebrows, the garments, and the style of dressing the hair, we get many an interesting glimpse at the customs of that remote time. Besides this: in the catalogue, the screen is described as being made with feathers, with some square Chinese ideographs on the folding-panels, and some Chinese literary compositions, all of the same material.
