Land of Surprises Japan Fuk
E C Horn reports from Tokyo in November 1902 on Japan as the Land of the Rising Sun, detailing customs, bows, dress, tea rites, family life, and the role of women. He contrasts Japanese manners and architecture with American norms, notes opium suppression, and argues Christianity elevates women and family life.
