Abstract

Japan Misinterpreted
June 29, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information about the book "Japan: The Rise of a Modern Power," by R.P. Porter. In this handier volume, a platform style has been adopted, relating the events in Japanese history to contemporary Biblical or European happenings. In his early chapters Porter treats of the early period when the Japanese Government was reorganized on Chinese lines without ever mentioning the native cult of the sword, so alien to Chinese traditions, and sure in time to cause a parting of the ways. This is a praiseworthy, if unhappy, attempt to focus Japan in history.
