Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Summer Greetings From Japan My Dear Anna: Thank you for the privilege of seeing these letters before they are put into print. Surely the saying is most true, that what a man gets from a situation depends first and chiefly on what he himself brings to it. To those of us who had been long in Japan, and were conscious how slowly, and through what mistakes and misconceptions, we had reached to such knowledge as we dare claim of Japanese thought and character, - to us there was something astonishing, almost miraculous, in the flash-light quality of Mr. Sheldon´s perceptions, and the depth and clearness of insight with which he looked through fact to idea and motive, during the few short weeks that he spent in the East. It must be a little less than two years since the letter came from you, telling of your husband´s proposed visit to Japan, and with it a characteristic little note in which Mr. Sheldon explained something of the object of his visit and the sort of people whom he hoped to meet; some of whom he already knew, such as the Hon. T. Yokoi and Dr. Mitsukuri, and others to whom he was bringing letters, or whom he knew by reputation only. To some of these Mr. Sheldon presented himself soon after arriving in Tokyo; with others my friend and housemate Miss Tsuda interested herself to put him quickly in touch, particularly with a group of University professors, including Dr. Yamakawa, Dr. Anesaki and others, who welcomed Mr. Sheldon as a kindred spirit and leader in thought.
