Jinrikisha Days In Japan is a travelogue written by Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore, an American journalist and travel writer who visited Japan in the late 19th century. The book is a vivid and detailed account of Scidmore's experiences in Japan, particularly her travels through the country by jinrikisha, a type of human-powered rickshaw. Scidmore's writing captures the beauty and complexity of Japanese culture, describing everything from the country's stunning natural landscapes to its intricate art and architecture. She also provides insight into the daily lives of Japanese people, including their customs, traditions, and social norms. Throughout the book, Scidmore reflects on the ways in which Japan was changing as it modernized and opened up to the world. She offers observations on the country's politics, economy, and international relations, as well as its relationship with the United States. Jinrikisha Days In Japan is a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal moment in Japanese history, as well as a testament to Scidmore's skill as a writer and observer of the world around her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
