About This Book
Excerpt from Child-Life in Japan and Japanese Child StoriesIN almost every English home are Japanese fans, in our shops Japanese dolls and balls and other nicknacks, on our writing-tables bronze crabs or lacquered pen-tray with out lined ou it the extinct volcano that is the most striking mountain seen from the capital of Japan; and at European places of amuse ment Japanese houses of real size have been exhibited, and the jargon of fashion for Jap anese Art even reaches our children's ears. Yet all these things seem dull and lifeless when thus severed from the quaint cheeriness.
