What reading level is Japan And Her People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hemp was certainly used at a very early period Digitized by VjOOQIC IKAO. 267 in Japan^ and was almost the only wear of the com- mon people till the seventeenth century, when the Tokugawa encouraged cotton, and it came into general use as the ordinary dress of the middle and lower classes. According to one legend, an Indian queen shut her step-daughter up in a hollow mulberry trunk and threw her into the sea, and she was carried ashore on the coast of Japan ; the people cared for her kindly, an...d when she died she gratefully turned into a silk- worm. Sujin, the tenth Emperor, commanded his sub- jects to bring tribute of the products of the bow and arrow — evidently skins, horns and tusks of animals, slain in hunting — and also of women's handiwork, which must have been materials woven or embroidered.
Probably silk formed a large part of this tribute, as it was already in use for royal gifts ; thus it is recorded that Sujin's son, the grandfather of Prince Yamato- take, received a prince from a neighboring country, and on his departure made him and his suite presents of scarlet silk.
