What reading level is The Flowers And Gardens of Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
We are told of Fujiwara-no-Narinori, of the twelfth century, who prayed to the god Tai- zanfiikun for the prolongation of the glory of his beloved cherry blossom. Fujiwara had planted over a hundred of the trees in his garden, and had, on that account, been named Sakura Machi by the people. It is said that the gods answered his prayer, and allowed the trees to remain in flower for twenty-one days.
Another legend tells of Minamoto-no-Yoshiyo the warrior, who was despatched to fight with Abe- no-...Sadato of Oshu. While on his way to the enemy's camp, he passed through groves of falling cherry blossoms, and was struck with lamentation over the changing of nature. His poem remains to this day, and after his death a monument was erected to his memory, on the spot where his inspiration seized him.
It is difficult to decide in which surroundings the cherry blossom shows to best advantage. In the groves or orchards devoted entirely to the sakura^ where the flower-laden trees will surround one on all sides, there will be cherry blossom, and nothing but cherry blossom almost as far as the eye can reach.
