Excerpt from In Bamboo Lands The Empire of Japan has long been an object of interest to he Western world. A generous destiny enabled me to visitt those attractive islands and to gain an insight not only into the delightful customs of the great common people, but into the arts and the industries, and into the beautiful and touching worship of ancestors as well. In the following simple and im partial recital of what I saw and did in the course of a pleasur able tour, I have endeavored not to increase the bulk of the volume by extraneous digression or by my own reflections. Those who are interested in Japanese art will find brief de scriptions of the manufacture of pottery, damascene, cloisonn???, and lacquer. The illustrations are reproductions of pictures gathered during my travels. I desire to acknowledge my in debtedness to Dr. J. J. Rein, to the columns of Tbe japan Mail, and for invaluable assistance derived from the works of the distinguished author, Mr. B. H. Chamberlain, of Tokyo. That this unpretentious chronicle may prove as enjoyable to the reader as did the journey through Dai Nippon to the tourist.
