Domestic Life in Japan Revealed by Swiss Minister
M Humbert, Swiss Minister at Jeddo, details Japanese domestic life. Marriage is common with women marrying around fifteen and men about twenty. A double lipped vase is a common wedding gift and the bid to drink the cup symbolizes shared life. Women hold authority in the home and the Mikado succession shows elevated status for women. Children are raised with exposed air, shaved heads, and pets as playmates. Citizens receive multiple names across life, ending with a tomb name.

The piece argues that modern men push body and mind beyond healthy limits through constant labor and poor routines. It cautions against overwork, urges regular sleep and exercise, and cites figures like Balzac and Southey as exceptional cases, not norms.
