What reading level is Japan Today book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Japanese, apparently, have but a vague sense of personality. The Ainu, on the other hand, regard identity as such a pro- found and unalterable truth that they will never wittingly bestow the same name upon 219 JAPAN TO-DAY two different persons, " Should such a thing be done, it would be looked upon as a kind of theft, and treated accordingly." The name pertains to the individual ; the in- dividual exists forever; therefore his name is his alone by sacred and inalienable right.
Their langua...ge and many of their cus- toms are pervaded with this abiding presence of the spiritual and eternal. Their great mountains and rivers and winds are "the mountains of God," " the rivers and winds of God," and an especially beautiful flower is known as " a flower of God." Life is " a shining like the sun," and death is knowTi, not as death, but as " a riding into the setting sun," or as " a having space for thought." Our prosaic " JMilky Way" becomes with them the especial "River of the Gods," whereon the gods at play go angling for the silvery star-fish.
