What reading level is Out of the East book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Three extraordinary visits have been made to my house this week.
THE first was that of the professional well-cleaners. For once every year all wells must be emptied and cleansed, lest the God of Wells, Suijin-Sama, be wroth. On this occasion I learned some things relating to Japanese wells and the tutelar deity of them, who has two names, being also called Mizuha-nome-no-mikoto.
Suijin-Sama protects all wells, keeping their water sweet and cool, provided that house-owners observe his law...s of cleanliness, which are rigid. To those who break them sickness comes, and death. Barely the god manifests himself, taking the form of a serpent. I have never seen any temple dedicated to him. But once each month a Shintō priest visits the homes of pious families having wells, and he repeats certain ancient prayers to the Well-God, and plants nobori, little paper flags, which are symbols, at the edge of the well. After the well has been cleaned, also, this is done.
