DESCRIPTION

Caption on front: "'While Japan looks to America as a model for many modern ideas of life and manners, there is a great need of a constructive interpretation of the best that the West has to offer.' Iwasaburo Okino, famous Japanese novelist, who arrived in San Francisco aboard the Tatsuta Maru recently, added to his above statement by saying that American motion pictures and lurid novels have presented a false picture of the United States to a large portion of the Japanese. Altogether interesting is this gentle Man of Letters from the shores of Dai Nippon, who has a broad view point of the Orient and the Occident, and may be just the person to write a true study of American life from the Japanese perspective. He is a follower of Christian ideals, and devoted to the cultural traditions of old Japan, as evidenced by his fifty-three volumes of writings, many of which are for children."
