Asako was staring at the buildings now, at the high square prison houses, and at the low native roofs. These had each its little platform, its monohoshi, where much white washing was drying in the sun. At the farther end of one street a large stucco building, with a Grecian portico, stood athwart the thoroughfare. "What is that?" said Asako; "it looks like a church."
