TO
MY HUSBAND.
Clad in native costume.
Many have been before me, and the theme of this volume can hardly be called new, for Japan has been viewed from every side and through all kinds of eyes. This, however, has not deterred me from jotting down a few observations and experiences of my own, hoping that in them my readers may feel some rays of the Orient sunshine and beauty.
I desire to thank Mr. Burton J. Hendrick for the kind and sympathetic aid given upon the manuscript.
