What reading level is Ema the Votive Pictures of Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A cripple for years, he had ridden from Osaka to pray to Benten and the snakes. After seven days of prayer, he was sud- denly cured. His overturned cart and his look of joy tell quite as well as the side- writing what has happened.
The centipede, as the messenger of the great Bishamon, is another creeping thing to be welcomed in one's dreams. To court the favor of Bishamon many a rich man has his private god- shelf adorned with gold and lacquered centipedes before a miniature temple that holds ...Bishamon. I know of two Christian converts in Osaka, one wealthy, the other poor, who orave their centipede shrines to be sent to the Peabody Museum at Yale.
Buddhism that has taught it a sin to kill even a mosquito, has given an abnormal sanctity to the life of every creature, and in the popular mind has virtually deified the whole animal world. One curious illustration of this may be seen at Kishiwada, on the east coast of Osaka Bay, in the Tako-Jizo Temple. The tako is a kind of cuttlefish, found in the neighboring waters and eaten with great relish.
