Here we gave in at length witb a very bad grace, and to our intense reUef we were soon being whirled through the bazaars, and admiring by hasty snatches the pretty lacquer and tortoisesbell stores, for which Nagasaki is especially famous. We visited two temples, wdiich seemed very much like those we bad left behind us in China, It is only in Kioto and gorgeous Nikko that tlie characteristic Japanese temples are seen in perfection. Here in Nagasaki we found the usual gateway of pretty artistic c...arved wooden roofs filled in by tiny mosaics of wood. Then came several flights of stone steps leading into a large square, or oblong courtyard, round all four sides of which were similar roofed-in buildings. Three sides of the courtyard are filled by the dwellings of tbe priests and officials connected with the temple, the last side being occupied by the temple itself. In the latter is always to be found a figure of Buddha, generally flanked by tiny shrines looking like small cupboards, each with its small hanging lamp kept constantly burning.
