| 1 | Author: | Watanna, Onoto, 1879-1954 | Requires cookie* | | Title: | The Life of a Japanese Girl | | | Published: | 2004 | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | Description: | The first lesson instilled into the mind of a Japanese
girl is to be modest and gentle, and she is reared along
lines which tend to make her respect her elders.[1] From the
days when she is wrapped in long clothes to the time when
she is given to her bridegroom she is under the strict
though gentle care of her parents. Though constantly
disciplined, it is in so mild and gentle and unseen yet firm
a way that maidenhood becomes a pleasure and wifehood a joy.
Out of all this there grows the love of and devotion to her
parents that is beautiful. | | Similar Items: | Find |
