He was essentially a son of New Japan, eager, ambitious,
intensely curious and interested in all pertaining to
learning and advancement. Everything in the Western world at
first enthused and delighted him. He began at once to master
the English language thoroughly, then to study the people.
He adopted their dress, copied their mannerisms and habits,
and even endured the misery of initiating himself into the
mysteries of what his suite termed “barbarous food.” At the
end of three years he was a typical Americanized Japanese. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
