What reading level is The Mikado : Institution And Person ; a Study of the Internal Political Forces of Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The $750,000 spent on the mission abroad was a good national investment. In form and spirit this embassy was different from any that had ever gone from Japan. It was the first one sent out by the Mi- kado and representing him. Long before its return we in Toyko noticed that the anti- Christian edicts had disappeared. These were removed on the plea, to protesting inquirers, that the people were already famiUar with the sub- stance of the prohibition.
A lively book could be written upon the comic... side of the great embassy's history: the mistakes made mutually, the density of Occidental ignor- ance, even among statesmen, regarding Japan, and the many odd revelations to certain members of the embassy, as they saw themselves in the mirrors of fresh and novel experiences.
In Boston, Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes inno- cently perpetrated a joke upon the august envoys, in a poem read at a public dinner: "God bless the Mikado, Long live the Tycoon !" The prayer has been answered; for Mutsuhito lived vmtil 1912 and the ex-Tycoon until 1913.
