Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed exploration of the Japanese people and their traditions, including a complete Japanese-English etymology and a concise guide to the history of Christian missions in Japan. It is part of a series of books chronicling the efforts of Christian missionaries around the world in the late 19th century. The author was a Cumberland Presbyterian missionary herself, and this book was born out of her decade-long experiences as a missionary in Japan. The author gives extensive detail on the lives of the Japanese people, focusing on daily life, customs, holidays, and religious rituals. Noting the arrival of Western influence shortly before her arrival in Japan, the author provides unique insights into the rapid modernization of Japan while reflecting on the challenges of spreading Christianity in a country steeped in Buddhism and Shintoism. She also covers the impact of missionaries on Japanese society, such as the introduction of Western education for women and the founding of orphanages.
