What reading level is Japanese Girls & Women book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A daimio fell into iilFE IN CASTLE AND YASHIKI 165 disgrace with the Shogun, and was banished to his own capital, — a castle town several days' journey from Yedo, — as a punishment for some offense. The castle gates ■were closed, and no communication with the outer world was allowed. During this period of disgrace, it happened that the noble fell ill, and died quite suddenly before his punishment was ended. His death under such circum- stances was the most terrible thing that could befall eithe...r himself or his family, as his funeral must be with- out the ordinary tokens of respect ; and his tombstone, instead of bearing tribute to his virtues, and the favor in which he had been held by his lord, must be simply the monument of his disgrace. This being the case, the re- tainers felt that these evils must be averted at any cost.
Knowing that the Shogun's anger was probably not so great as to make him wish to bring eternal disgrace to their dead lord, they at once decided to send a messenger' to the Shogun, begging for pardon on the plea of desper- ate illness, and asking the restoration of his favor before the approach of death.
