Summary
This travel book describes the author’s observations of Japan and Formosa, with particular attention to Japanese family life, etiquette, housing, and everyday customs. One episode centers on arriving in Tokyo after a hotel fire, then being received into a Japanese home where the details of greeting, footwear, bathing, and sleeping reveal cultural differences and the practical inconveniences of Westerners living in such houses. The listed subjects also place the work within descriptions of social life and customs in both Japan and Taiwan.
