Travel Writing

About This Book

A traveler's diary recounts a voyage to and life in Japan through episodic sketches that blend journey scenes, urban and rural landscapes, and social encounters. It describes impressions of temples, gardens, imperial ceremonies and theater, domestic routines, the habits of women, children, and servants, and seasonal festivals and funerary rites. Interlaced are episodes of travel to hot springs and mountain inns, anecdotes about household pets and a companion dog, and reflections on Western influence and modernization. The sketches are arranged chronologically and thematically, combining personal anecdotes, cultural observation, and light travel reportage.
