Description
Excerpt from A Japanese Interior
Upon my arrival in Tokyo in J une, 1888, I found myself greeted by J apanese friends, known long and intimately in America, but from whom I had been separated for years. Their friendship had, however, stood well the strain of the long separation both by time and space. In all that great city I had no acquaintance of my own race and language, but my J apanese friends so cared for me and surrounded me by their kind ness, that instead of missing the society of my own people, I found its absence a posi tive advantage,in that it threw me entirely upon congenial and interesting Japanese friends for that social intercourse necessary for all civilized beings.
