Japan in Pictures (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Japan in Pictures
To rest in one inspiring scene of foreign travel and analyse your impressions of another is a banquet of the senses. I sit on the Palatine looking over the Forum and the senate-house, at Nero's tower and the Seven Hills of Rome as I recall the features of japan. The word japan very appropriately means the Land of the Rising Sun. The sun of Asia has risen there from the mists of many centu ries even if it be destined to set in a storm of blood.
But few japanese are aware that they live in japan, a corruption of Marco Polo's mis-spelling of two Chinese words. They call their country Dai Nippon, Great Nippon. They put the great before it a few years ago, when they became imbued with the faith that they were destined to be the Great Britain of the Pacific.
