What reading level is Japan And Her People volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From three to fifteen threads of reeled silk, representing as many cocoons, are spun into these threads for warp and woof, accord- ing to the weight of fabric desired. The secret of making chinmen or crape is that the woof threads are IKAO. 265 very tightly twisted, half to the right and half to the left ; the two kinds are woven in alternately, and when the web is dipped this reverse twisting makes the crinkle. The twisting is done on a special wheel, the large hand wheel one sees in so many c...ottages, o-guruma, the great wheel, they call it. The dipping is really a boiling which goes on for several hours, in water mixed with ashes made from straw, and often slightly colored with a little indigo. Then the fabric is washed out, stretched, and rolled on a wooden cyl- inder to dry. The crinkling shrinks it to about three- fourths of its original width, but in length it alters much less. Silk waste, ma-watta, looks very like what we call cotton wadding, and they use it to line the nicer dresses for winter ; it is delightfully warm, and light as down almost.
