What reading level is Present Day Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Each has a fan, or else a wand of white wood shaped like a closed fan, in his hand, and wears a black hat of what looks like varnished buckram, bearing no apparent relation to the size of the head, to which it is fixed by a complicated arrangement of white tape, or something very like it. The worshippers, old and young, come and stand at the foot of the steps, outside the barrier, many with babies on their backs, all with the same unchanging look of pleased vacuity. The cere- mony proceeds : th...e priests, who are on the floor of the temple, their feet about level with the heads of the spectators, move backwards and forwards with many reverences and prostra- tions, arranging, as it seems, and rearranging on a sort of table with shelves behind it, little white wooden stands of a shape familiar in daily life, each bearing a small quantity of food or drink, rice, vegetables of different kinds, and bottles as well — sake, one is given to understand, and water. Then squatting in the usual attitude on the floor with fans held ceremoniously erect, they recite in a low monotone some liturgy apparently no less unintelligible to the native " con- gregation " than to oneself, which ended, the ceremony abruptly stops, the priests move suddenly away, leaving the stands of offerings behind, and the onlookers depart also, apparently quite satisfied with what they have seen or done.
