Hugh Kent stands at the rail of the Tenyo Maru on his last night at sea, looking towards a Japan he imagines as all mystery. Ashore, he meets Japanese who admire American frankness and enters the world of the geisha, where East and West meet, partly blend and stay apart, and where his feelings bring trouble to others as well as himself.
A 1920s romance of Americans in Japan, with the exoticism and assumptions of its day. Download the free EPUB.
