What reading level is The Spell of Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The actors have always been of a better class than the kabuti, or players for the common people.
Takeda Izuma is one of the most celebrated play writers, having dramatized the story of the Forty-Seven Ronins, as well as other his- toric tales. Chikamatsu is sometimes called the Shakespeare of Japan ; his best work is a play in which the expulsion of the Dutch from For- mosa is used as a theme. He was a prolific writer of rather a sensational order. Samba, who has taken the name of Ikku, is one ...of the best dramatists of the present time, and is re- nowned throughout Japan.
Hitherto myths, legends — religious or seen- 244 The Spell of Japan lar — and folklore, as well as passages from Japanese history, have been the material used for plays. To-day, however, novels are drama- tized as with us, and many plays are translated.
Western dramas are having a great vogue at present.
Whether the plays are original or not, the author's name frequently does not appear at all. When Miss Scidmore, the author of " Jin- rikisha Days," asked a great tragedian who wrote the play in which he was appearing, the star was puzzled and said that he did not un- derstand.
