THE LADY EDWARD CECIL
TO WHOSE ENTHUSIASTIC SYMPATHY
MY WORK IN JAPAN
OWES SO MUCH OF THE SUCCESS
IT HAS ATTAINED

Note
In this book I endeavour to present, with whatever skill of penmanship I may possess, my father’s impressions of Japan. I trust that they will not lose in force and vigour in that they are closely intermingled with my own impressions, which were none the less vivid because they were those of a child,—for it was as a child, keenly interested in and enjoying all I saw, that I passed, four or five years ago, through that lovely flower-land of the Far East, which my father has here so charmingly memorialised in colour.
