What reading level is Japan in Pictures book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is a quarter where foreigners seldom go, though it is most interesting with its elegant bridges and crowded native life ; and an admirable district for buying curios. The water-life is even more picturesque at Osaka, the Manchester and Liverpool of Japan, though the factories are hatefully ugly.
A picture is given also of one of the crowded and busy land-streets of Osaka which is a place where the Japanese goes if he wants a round of theatres and specialities in dissipation, just as he goe...s to Kyoto to buy choice silks or pottery. The theatre- street in Osaka is the finest in Japan, and if you pass through the city after nightfall you are struck by the number of the square paper transparencies which denote the dwellings of the geisha, and fairer and frailer sisters. Japanese streets are mostly one-storied and the houses are seldom certain whether they are shops or not. But in cities like Osaka there are of course regular streets of shops though they are little more than houses with their fronts taken off, and the articles for sale rising in tiers from the floor to the ceiling like potato exhibits at a flower show.
