Excerpt from Rambles Through Japan, Without a Guide
The notes taken during a three months' ramble have been closely followed, in place of a more carefully prepared and continuous narrative. Written by many instalments during each day, wherever a halt was made for rest - at wayside tea-houses, on the steps of a temple, or at the foot of a shrine, in the midst, oftentimes, of a multitude of eager and curious faces - such a record of experience is rather a series of mental photographs of things as they were seen, than the more carefully toned picture which unaided memory would probably have painted at a later date.
