Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tales of Old Japan, Vol. 1 of 2
IN the Introduction to the story of the Forty-seven Ronins, I have said almost as much as is needful by way of preface to my stories.
Those of my readers who are most capable of pointing out the many shortcomings and faults of my work, will also be the most indulgent towards me; for any one who has been in Japan, and studied Japanese, knows the great difficulties by which the learner is beset.
