“The Japanese legends are put into English with exquisite delicacy. They can have lost little of their character in the process. Some of them are grotesque, some beautiful, some surprisingly hideous, but they all bear unmistakable national characteristics. His own work, which comprises two-thirds of the volume, is almost as Japanese, it shows so fine a perception of their point of view, such a rare comprehension of Japanese life and customs.”—Chicago Tribune.
