What reading level is Japan Its History Arts And Literature volume 2 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

His genuine grievance consisted in having to pay into the treasury nearly seventy per cent of his farm's produce. The Taikb further had recourse to forced labour unsparingly. The great works that he caused to be constructed the castles at Osaka and Fushimi required the employment of thousands of workmen, and his example induced many of the provincial magnates 124 MANNERS AND CUSTOMS to undertake similar tasks, so that the close of the sixteenth century saw the nation much distressed. Another ac...t which added to the weight of tax- ation was the issue of an order for re-surveying all the land throughout the Empire, the surveyors be- ing required to use a pole exactly six feet (one ken) in length, whereas the pole previously in use had varied from six feet three inches to six feet five inches. It is supposed that these additional inches were intended to be a space for the grasp of the measuring official, but evidently they opened the door to many abuses. A tan measured with a six-foot five-inch pole is sixteen per cent larger than a tan measured with a six-foot pole, and the taxable measure of produce being the same in either case, no little importance attached to the nature of the pole employed.
