Far, far beyond our shore, the spot Now honored by his fall; But forty million brethren Have heard that bugle-call. Comrade! beyond the peaks and seas Your bugle sounds to-day In forty million loyal hearts A thousand miles away! Haori, a sort of upper dress, worn by men as well as women. The linings are often of designs beautiful beyond praise.
One person is seated at a small round table, and about him are standing half a dozen others: all are in full Japanese costume, ceremonial costume splendid silken hakama, or Chinese trousers, silken robes, silken haori or overdress, marked with their mon or family crests: rich and dignified attire which makes me ashamed of my commonplace Western garb.
The teacher of drawing was altogether like a cheap actor. He wore a thin, flappy haori of sukiya, and, toying with a fan, he giggled; "Where from? eh? Tokyo? Glad to hear that. You make another of our group. I'm a Tokyo kid myself." If such a fellow prided himself on being a Tokyo kid, I wished I had never been born in Tokyo.
With their faces white with rice powder and their purple color in their haoris they are pretty, and especially here where they do not feel the necessity of covering the obi with haori so they look less humpbacked than in fashionable Tokyo.
They were portrayed on the silk linings of haori , on women's kerchiefs of chirimen , in the embroidery of girdles, in the designs of silk shirts and of children's holiday robes, not to speak of cheaper printed goods, such as calicoes and toweling.
