To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not for its commerce the stranger goes to Nagoya, but to visit the remarkable castle, one of the wonders of Japan. It is not old; it was only built in 1610 ; it never was besieged. But it is far older than its date; it is a genuine early medieval stronghold of timber, built centuries after Europe had forgotten that such wood castles must have preceded all (or most) stone fortresses. There are huge stone walls as foundation ; all else is timber, and the walls are 18 feet thick, and tier up...on tier for five high storeys the keep rises ; its gates are cased with iron; it is surrounded by a moat, and full within of ingenious devices for dropping burning metal on besiegers, and its walls are pierced with holes for arrows. On top are 82 WINTER DAYS IN THE EAST two golden ddphina, valued at £36,000. At Nagoya we went to the local theatre, where the ingenious revolving stage worked admirably and enabled the very pretty scenes to be promptly changed. Next came a few days in the capital, a city of two million people, mth their Sovereign living in a sort of island surrounded by a moat in the very heart of the place.
