What reading level is Peeps At Many Lands: Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

A slip in the manner of serving the foodis a thousand times more important in Japanese eyes than the quality of thefood itself. A hostess might serve burned rice and the most shocking tea, but if it were handed round in correct form, there would be nothing more tobe said; but to serve a twice-honourable guest before a thrice-honourableguest--ah! that would be truly dreadful, a blot never to be wiped off thefamily escutcheon.
After breakfast the master of the house will go about his business. If
... theday is fine the wife has his straw sandals ready for him; if it is wetshe gets his high wooden clogs and his umbrella of oiled paper. Then sheand the servants escort him to the door and speed his departure with manylow bows, rubbing their knees together--the latter is a sign of deeprespect--and calling good wishes after him.
It may seem odd to us that the servants should accompany their mistress onsuch an errand, but the servants in Japan are not like other servants: theyare as much a part of the family as the children of the house.
