What reading level is In Lotus Land Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
comely ; whereas at Miyaji, another village not two miles away, they were dirty, ill-kempt, and ugly. The children of the well-to-do, however, are usually the very dearest little creatures, and as different in every respect from the peasant youngsters as are the children of Kensington from the gamins of Poplar.
One of the most delightful characteristics of Japanese children is their courtesy, not only to strangers but to their parents and each other. It is certainly charming to see school child...ren greeting each other at the school gate with a bow, and to see the respect which the young, one and all, pay to the old.
When, after several years of travel in foreign countries, I returned to England and explored some of the poorest parts of the East End of London, it was with feelings of disgust and shame that I saw such sights there as no Far East country has to show. I had never seen a drunken woman since I left my native land, and, after the reverence shown in Confucian lands by young to old, it seemed to me a piteous, ghastly mockery of our boasted civilisation when I saw a ragged, drunken old woman shouting foul oaths at a band of children who were goading her to fury.
