What reading level is Japan To-Day And To-Morrow book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The test of the presence of that feeling among a people is not the appearance of a group of artists of genius, but the touch of beauty on common things ; the familiar uses of beauty in homely ways and in daily occupations.
It is of the very essence of art that it should suggest the whole in the part, and that under its hand detail should gain the dignity and significance of the whole. This is the secret of the best Japanese art ; its power lies not in what it says but in what it suggests. The s...lender bamboo bending in the wind, the adventurous pine leaning over the sea, have the vital energy which carries the imagination into wide landscapes. The great mass of Fuji is always in the background even when but a faint line indicates its presence, or when it is invisible.
In his gardens the Japanese artist shows his skill in making detail do the work of mass. The area of the garden is often very small, but the sense of space is rarely missing. The grouping of trees THE JAPANESE HAND 199 and shrubs, the massing of flowers, the softening of hard surfaces by water, the winding walks of stones, conceal boundaries and borrow space from the landscape and sky.
