Frontispiece – Pilgrimages are dreadfully tiresome long-drawn-out affairs! Miss Open Sea was busy from morning till night leading grandfather from shrine to shrine. No doubt the white object in her hand is money wrapped in paper, as grandfather insisted all offerings should be wrapped.

When the rain sings a Spring Song in Japan, this is the way the music of it looks! Even those of you who can not play on the piano can read the notes quite easily.

Excerpt - Foreword:
Here we have a story, a study book and program material for Junior Societies all in one.

Miss Applegarth will tell you in a pamphlet entitled, “Suggestions for Junior Leaders” just how to use the material in the book to the best advantage. She will give a series of programs for lesson meetings and another of dramatic programs, which will help American boys and girls to understand Japan better than some of the grown-up people do. Japan sends us so many beautiful, useful things. The very best gift in the world that we can send to Japan and the one she needs most is the gospel of Jesus shown in the lives and teaching of the men and women who have gone out there for His sake. Your own Mission Board ahs sent some of these. There are some fine Japanese Christians too who are doing great work for their own country. If you study this book study also the stories of your own missionaries in Japan.

Chairman of Central Committee on the United Study of Foreign Missions.
End excerpt


How would you like to be these Cradles-That-Walk-On-Two-Feet? Miss Open Sea looks anxiously over her shoulder at the blissful Bo Chan. His head seems to be quite dangerously on the bias, but that is not worrying Kumayo Aki: She merely wonders if really is as wise a baby as the one on Miss Honorable Sparrow’s back. For Miss Sparrow boasts that hers stays awake all day long! Miss Open Sea sniffs: “What of that? I like them drowsy?”

When ink is a black cake (looking like liquorice!) and pens are brushes, learning to write is almost like a painting lesson, which often has to be hung up to dry.

Before Honorable Miss Tiger went off to her silk mill, she visited the shrines of the old familiar idols, who had know her so many years. Since foxes are servants of Inari-Sami, the Goddess Of Food, Miss Tiger tied an apron around a stone fox’s neck (like a bib!) and a bandage around one of his paws to make him feel kindly disposed toward the empty stomachs at home!

A pyramid of prettiness!
