Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Heart of Nami-San (Hototogisu) A Story of War, Intrigue and Love With the rapid rise of Japan as a power, especially since the outbreak of the present conflict, has come an increase of interest in the land of the Rising Sun that has not been slow to show itself in the number of books published about Japan. For many years before the war, indeed, Nippon has always been a source of picturesque study and that strange pleasure which comes from an acquaintance with things exotic, - a pleasure often mingled, no doubt, with a sense of our own superiority over the peoples we happen to be reading about. Many of us, too, without knowing a single word of Japanese (except, perhaps, "Banzai," which literally means "ten thousand years" and in practise corresponds to our "hurrah" or shouts of good wishes and victory) have long discoursed quite knowingly about jinrikishas, Japanese prints, Fujiyama, Madame Butterfly, and even hummed the Japanese "national hymn," - the one, at least, that Sullivan announces with those enchanting strokes of the kettle-drum in the overture to "The Mikado." We have heard something, too, about that ticklish process known as harakiri, and even seen it suggested in the realistic "movies!" But how near to the real Japan has all this brought us?
