 Title:  A Rhapsody on Japan  
 Published:  2004 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: "Japan is not a land where men need pray, for 'tis itself divine," sang the poet Hitomara more than a thousand years ago, and another clever Japanese writer said: "Holding the brush of infinite genius the Creator began to work upon his canvas—the universe. A touch of his finger produced land and sea, beautiful and sublime. When his hand moved on, there in the farthest east of the world a land was raised out of water. I know not why, but the painter favored this land with a special color. 'Japan' they call it—surnamed 'The Land of Sunrise.'"
