To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As far as the early history is concerned, Karafuto was in the same state of disorganization as that which existed more or less in that part of Japan now in- cluded in the Northern Sea Circuit. The first Japanese to cross the barrier and set foot in the island of Yeso were refugees who, in the time of the first Shogun, destroyed and frustrated the hopes and ambitions of ■ Fujiwara no Yasuhira in 1189. It was ruled over soon after by Nobuhiro Takeda, who fortified the island and held arbitrary sw...ay over the three important centres lying in close proximity. But the rule was purely military and punitive, quite insufficient for the extent of territory. For this reason, any attempt to raise the people from semi-barbarism to civilization was never entertained. Progress was not desired. Agriculture 114 ISLAND DEPENDENCIES OF JAPAN was not encouraged. Civilization was not thought de- sirable, because the people could be better held in check the more ignorant they remained. Taxes were levied upon fishing, as well as upon boats and ships entering the harbour.
