What reading level is The Land of the Morning An Account of Japan And Its People book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
299 supporting my head, as for a change I adopt a reclining posture; again I am sitting with back upright against the wall, and my legs at right angles to it along the floor. But it is satisfactory when in Japan to do as the Japanese do, so far as that is desirable and possible. These scrupulously clean mats were never meant for chairs ; and to bring boots in contact with them would be as clownish as to walk over a sofa in an English drawing-room. And yet Western barbarians have been known, in ...utter disregard of the polite remonstrances of Ja- panese hotel-keepers, to walk roughshod into the best apartments. Such behaviour is of course exceptional ; but I have myself suffered from it in being refused admission to a hotel where previous visitors had thus conducted themselves.
The food was brought in on lacquered trays, or miniature tables, one of which was, with a bow, set before each of the guests. At one corner was an omelet on a porcelain plate ; at another, a lacquered bowl which, when the lid was removed, showed some steaming egg-soup ; then there were a porcelain bowl of rice, also with a lid, a little saucer with some pickled vegetable, and a pair of chop-sticks of plain wood, partially wrapped in paper, and not completely slit apart, to show that they had never yet been used.
