What reading level is On Short Leave to Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The word kaishaku, it should be observed, is one to which our word executioner is no equivalent. The office is that of a gentleman ; in many cases it is performed by a kinsman or friend of the condemned, and the relation between them is rather that of principal and second than that of victim and executioner. In City Life — The Theatre 95 this instance the kaishaku was a pupil of Taki Zenzaburo, and was selected by the friends of the latter from among their own number for his skill in swordsmans...hip. With the kaishaku on his left hand, Taki Zenzaburo advanced slowly towards the Japanese witnesses, ahd the two bowed before them ; then, drawing near to the foreigners, they saluted us in the same way, perhaps even with more deference : in each case the salutation was ceremoniously re- turned. Slowly and with great dignity the condemned man mounted on to the raised floor, prostrated himself before the high altar twice, and seated^ himself on the felt carpet with his back to the high altar, the kaishaku crouching on his left-hand side.
