This shows how little the real ladies of Tokyo go out of their houses. The Sumida river is a big river gathering up all the small streams from one side of the mountains. It is full of junks and other craft and is the center of much history, both for Tokyo as a city and for the whole country. TOKYO, April 4. Ganjiro, the greatest actor from Osaka, is acting here now, and the show was great.
A valuable account from the Japanese point of view was found among the posthumous papers of Mr. "We are not ready to fight China yet," said the Japanese Foreign Minister to the impetuous young Korean. It was ten years later before Japan was ready, ten years of steady preparation, and during that time the real focus of the Far Eastern drama was not Tokyo nor Peking, but Seoul.
And as the Kanegafuchi Company has seventeen factories in all, representing several cities and aggregating over 300,000 spindles, being one of the most famous industries of Japan, it will be seen that its example is by no means without significance. The Kanegafuchi's Tokyo factories alone employ 3500 operatives, and they are cleaner, I should say, than most of our stores and offices.
Such an instance occurred only last year in Tokyo, when the young lieutenant of militia, Ohara Takeyoshi, killed himself by harakiri in the cemetery of Saitokuji, leaving a letter stating as the reason for his act, his hope to force public recognition of the danger to Japanese independence from the growth of Russian power in the North Pacific.
Indeed, they had every look of spontaneity, and lacked only the thing itself to turn the sky into an ocean, and Tokyo into a sea bottom with a rockery of roof. Each fish commemorates the birth of a boy during the year.
Beneath a tall lamp-post on the lawn, round whose smooth waxy light scores of moths were flitting, stood the short stout figure of a Japanese, staring up at the hotel. "It looks like Tanaka," thought Geoffrey, "by Jove, it is Tanaka!" They had definitely left their guide behind in Tokyo. Had Asako yielded at the last moment unable to dispense with her faithful squire?
It would be better, they added, after the mountain opening on the tenth of June. "Mountain opening!" said I to Yejiro; "what is that? Is it anything like the 'river opening'?" For the Japanese words seemed to imply not a physical, but a formal unlocking of the hills, like the annual religious rite upon the Sumidagawa in Tokyo. Such, it appeared, it was.
For every advance that the Japanese have made since they started their frenzied career of conquest, they have had to pay a very heavy toll in warships, in transports, in planes, and in men. They are feeling the effects of those losses. It is even reported from Japan that somebody has dropped bombs on Tokyo, and on other principal centers of Japanese war industries.
When these obligations expire all necessary money can be found in the country at less than half the original rate. Japan is fortunate in having many sound financiers to invite to her official councils, and it is helpful to the country that Tokyo and Yokohama bankers are competent and progressive.
He had been sent with a telegram from Mr. Campbell's office, but it had been written in Japanese and had to be translated. Mr. Campbell hurried back to the house and called Onoye: "Read this for me if you can," he ordered. Onoye looked at the strange script a long time. Then she read slowly: "'O'Nainci San gone Tokyo. No honorable telling before for why she make those journey "
