Synopsis
Excerpt from Jinrikisha Days in Japan
This book has only attempted to present some of the phases of the new Japan as they appeared to one who was both a tourist and a foreign resi dent in that country. No one person can see it all, nor comprehend it, as the Jinrikisha speeds through city streets and over country roads, nor do any two people enjoy just the same experiences, see things in the same light, or draw the same conclusions as to this remarkable people. Japan is so inexhaust ible and so full of surprises that to the last day of his stay the tourist and the resident alike are con fronted by some novelty that is yet wholly common and usual in the life of the Japanese.
