To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From the Geku we drove through village streets and along a fine macadamized highway equipped with expensive electric lamps to the Naiku, the shrine primarily of the great Sun-Goddess, reputed ancestress of Japanese emperors and patron god- dess of the race and nation. Here reposes in a Holy of Holies a successor and probably facsimile of that famous mirror which was given by Amaterasu-no- kami, Light of Heaven, to her divine grandchild (by adoption) when he left the Heavenly Plains to rule over... the benighted earth (which was Japan) in compliance with the decision of the council of the gods ; successor and representative of that mir- ror which, in the age of the gods, was made use of to lure the Sun-Goddess from her divine rock dwell- ing, in which she had shut herself to escape the annoyances of her rude brother and had thereby wrapped the earth in gloom and sorrow. The orig- inal mirror, or at least the oldest known and one far older than the present one, was lost at sea many centuries ago, which may in part account for the remarkable care taken of the later one, which is wrapped in many superimposed covers of rich silk and never exposed to the gaze of man.
