Excerpt from Japanese Marriage The fact of the most unpleasant personage in this story being a clergyman of the Church of England renders it necessary, I think, for me to mention that I have not the slightest wish to make any attack on The Church. I only attack the particular type which is pharisaic to human happiness. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Japanese Family Marriage here differs from that of Western nations. Here it is simply a contract in which a man goes to the bride's house and takes her name almost as easily as the bride goes to his house to take his name. But it isan affair not of two individuals so much as of two families, and it is surrounded by customs that have even more strength than the new laws. The consent of parents is essential, but the code has wisely put a limit to parental authority by allowing the man of thirty and the woman of twenty-five to marry regardless of the parents' consent. Hence the vast majority of marriages is that of minors and is under parental control Marri age takes efiect upon its notification to the registrar by the parties con cerned and two witnesses The wording of this law suggests that there are marriages that don't take efect. This is just the difference bet ween a Japanese marriage and one in the West. Here the ceremonial marriage takes place with no reference whatever to its legality. The families concerned celebrate the occasion Open ly and the young couple live together as man and wife until it is convenientto have it 'f take effect and then the public office is notified that such and such persons are husband and wife, which notification constitutes the legal marriage. We foreigners are always deceiving ourselves by think ing that if the ceremony is open and society recognizes the pair as married, it must be legal. There are large numbers in every considerable town who pass as husband and wife yet have no legal status whatever as such.

Excerpt from The Japanese Bride The Japanese Bride, Is not there a noble virtue in woman's obedience, in such a solem nity at the wedding ceremony, and in such warm devotion of young men towards their old parents? Yes, indeed! But Japanese virtue is very pharisaical - in form, not in heart. Nine out of ten ladies in Japan obey their husbands not joyfully, but un willingly, just like the people of an absolute monarchy. Our wedding solemnity does not indicate the purity of our hearts, or the sacred ness of the marriage institution. I have frankly painted our home life which foreigners never penetrate, and which most Japanese hesitate to reveal, feeling it to be a shame to open the dark side of our home life in public, and espe cially before the gaze of foreigners. I have tried to write with sincerity, in the spirit of loving truth, without any fear. My Sincere thanks are due to Mr. C. H. Phillips, my classmate in Auburn Theological Seminary and my intimate friend, who helped me in a great measure to publish this book in this shape before the American public. If any one who reads this book is able to catch a glimpse of our home life, and is thus led to compare the homes under Buddhist influence with the homes under the influence of Chris tianity, i shall be greatly rewarded.

Excerpt from Playing the Game, a Story of Japan: Being a Sequel to "a Japanese Marriage" The period occupied by the story is from 1894 to 1904, and, among its adventures and its love-episodes, shows how the ex-grenadier, Sir Randolph Rich, the type of the athletic young Englishman, gradually changed his opinion about the Japanese. When he went to Japan in 1894 he regarded them as a nation of conceited monkeys, and treated them with the utmost arrogance and contempt; in 1904 he thought them the finest foreigners in the world. Though the story is of Lega tion life in Tokyo, there are no portraits of people actually connected with the British Legation there. Only one personage in the book is drawn from life (with his own consent), that of the far-seeing and patriotic man to whom we owe all our good relations with Japan; and he never had the smallest connection.

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 The Japanese Bride This is the age of danger and the age of confusion with Japan. Old Japan is passing away, and new Japan is coming to the threshold. The old man's opinion is no longer respected, and the young man's word has no weight. Buddhism, Shintoism, and Confucianism have lost their power of control, and Christianity has not yet taken hold of the mass of our people. Old and new customs are mingled together, and they do not work well. Old men are content to marry in accordance with the old customs, but young men wish to marry in the foreign way, making their own choice of a wife, yet without any moral restraint, although they breathe the air of new thought imported from Christian countries. Young men are dissatisfied with old customs of marriage, but they cannot easily adopt a new mode. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Custom of the Country: Tales of New Japan Beyond the cherry trees was the bamboo fence, all pale green, because it was new; and tied together, stake by stake, with neat lover's knots in black string. Beautifully shaped stepping-stones marked the-way to a larger tank at the far end of the domain, where irises would wave white and blue flags by and by, when the cherry blossoms had had their day. It was early April now, and Mrs. Nisbet was sitting on her verandah, pour ing out tea for a visitor who was in the habit of coming to her almost every day. She was a little hurt because he took scant notice of her garden, which was looking its best in the full sunshine of the eastern spring. Laura Nisbet was young, and rather shy, pretty and dark-eyed, with a pale face full of the conscientious brightness of the nice American girl. She had been married for nearly two years to Nisbet, of the Kondo Gakko, and was suffering the famishing homesickness which comes to most women in the East. Like many another, she would rather have died than have let her hopeful, hard-working young husband know anything about it. Frank Nisbet was at the school a great part of the day, and found his wife looking so happy when he came home that it never struck him to ask how she looked when he was away.

Excerpt from Meeting the Sun: A Journey All Round the World Through Egypt, China, Japan, and California, the Marriage Ceremonies of the Emperor of China The binding of this book may perhaps be the better for a slight explanation. Yellow is the Imperial colour in China, and Red the Nuptial. As the marriage was called, in official language, The Union of the Dragon and the tuix, these mythic figures are given from Chinese forms of art. An empty circle represents in Chinese symbolism Hun-yuan, or Chaos; but when the Yin-yang are added, we have the dual powers, from which Cosmos was evolved. The design contains this, and sur rounding it is the pah-im'ah, or the Eight Diagrams. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
