Strangers in Strange Lands

Paperback (Forgotten Books Jan. 24, 2019)
Excerpt from Strangers in Strange LandsStrange to say, nearly all Japanese country 170l who come to visit Tokyo are invarabl y seen, wearing red blankets which hang down over their shoulders, and they wonder at the sights and delights of the ever-interesting Capital. Hence, the nickname, Red Blanket, is applied to a country gentleman, peasant, rustic, or bucolic pleasure seeker. It must not be supposed that Japanese gentlemen, going abroad, are not likely to expose themselves as Red Blankets in the eyes of the Western people. How many men of rank, art, science, and letters in japan have already crossed the sea and brought back with them honors as well as dishonors! How many accidents and incidents, joyful or shameful, did they leave behirrd as footprints in the sand of time! How often have their quips and pranks have made the sad old world laugh!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
