Sinopse
Características

Originally published in 1895. PREFACE: The contest just concluded between Japan and China had the effect of directing public attention to the serious side of the Japanese character. A people capable of waging warfare so systematically and successfully cannot fail to occupy a most prominent position in the twentieth century, now so near its dawn. But though they have shown themselves to be well equipped for the fray, the tendency is distinctly towards the re-establishment of peaceful intercourse with China, on that footing of perfect equality which was unattainedable so long as the people of the Middle Kingdom held in derision the efforts of the Japanese nation to excel in the arts of the Occident......Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
