What reading level is The Land of the Tatami : Travels in Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Through all the temples I went, carefully, and with deep respect.
It seemed to me that those of Shinto were the more imposing, though Buddhism displays ground-works of art and antiquity. Kobo Daishi, monk, artist, miracle-worker, poet, and painter, who gained his knowledge in China, and who returned hence, camel laden with wisdom, is the favourite of all the Buddhist saints. He did not die, but is still watching like Barbarossa, the ultimate fate of his country.
Every temple, every castle, ever...y nook and corner, the streets, the hills, the parks, the teahouses, the theatres (with revolving stages), the happy people themselves, all are surrounded by a paradise of their own. Details would be misleading and weak ; one must come and see ! Famous and fabulous paintings, embroideries, kakemono^ sliding and folding screens, relics, sacred Tnementi mori^ were shown to me. Their value could not be estimated in gold, and all the treasures of the world would be insufficient to purchase one of them.
