What reading level is Ghenkō, the Mongol Invasion of Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In Shoden temple at Kamo, in Kioto, there is still kept a prayer-book used for the prevention of the Mongol invasion. The manuscript, which was that of Kogaku-Zenshi, the then chief priest of the temple, shows how he grieved to hear the humiliating policy of the Kioto court, and how earnestly he prayed to Buddha to prevent the imperial letter from going to Mongolia, and how energetically he had daily prayer for sixty-three days from December 27th, 1269, to March 1st, 1270. The book tells how li...ghtly Kublai thought of the Japanese power. — " Kokushi-no-Kenkyu, " by Dr. Kuroita.
" The Japanese interpreted this to be an offer of suzerainty or subjugation. Two courses were advocated : one by the Kioto court, the other by Kamakura. The former favoured a policy of con-^ ciliation and delay ; the latter, an attitude of contemptuous silence. Kamakura, of course, triumphed. After six months' retention the envoys were sent away without so much as a written acknowledg- ment. The records contain nothing to show whether this bold course on the part of Baku-fu had its origin in the Mongol's might or in a conviction of the Bushi's fighting superiority.
