Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Honda the Samurai: A Story of Modern Japan
This story owes its origin to the suggestion of a publish ing friend who wanted the young people of America to know how the wonderful New Japan ?owered out of the roots of the Old. Further, he wished the events of the last twenty years told in the form of a story, and from an inside point of view.
Now it makes a great deal of difference, when you are trying to make out the design in a stained-glass window, whether you are looking at it from the street, or within from the aisle or chancel. So, for a foreigner to know Japan, it is better to get inside of the country and tell the story of what he sees, than to look from without with alien eye.
