What reading level is Japan Its History Arts And Literature volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
During the seventy-five years comprised in the epoch, no less than seven of the grandest temples ever seen in Japan were erected ; a multitude of idols were cast, among them a gigantic Daibutsu; colossal bells were founded, and all the best artists and artisans of the time devoted their services to these costly works. The mania reached its zenith in the reign of the Emperor Shomu (724749), whose religious zeal was supple- mented by a love of pomp that led him to lavish great sums on rich costum...es, expensive sports, and handsome edifices, and by superstition so profound that whenever any natural calamity or abnormal phenomenon occurred, he caused reli- gious services to be performed at heavy cost. In addition to the large demands of the central treasury, salaries and emoluments for the leading officials were assessed on a liberal scale ; the Prime Minister's pay being equal to the earning capacities of three thousand families, that of the second Minister to the earnings of two thousand families, and so on in a descending rate.
