Edwin O. Reischauer Quotes
Absolutely delightful, at first for its unspoiled picture of late-nineteenth-century Japan as seen through the eyes of three remarkable but very different Americans, the missionary William Elliot Griffis 1843-1928, the scientist Edward Sylvester Morse 1838-1925, and the writer Lafcadio Hearn, and then for the marvelous reconstruction of how Japan worked on their minds, radically changing their perceptions of the country and the whole relationship between East and West--between the barbarian and the civilized. The book is a tour de force.
