KAKEMONO A Sketch Book, of Post-War Japan By Honor Tracy COWARD-McCANN, Inc. NEW YORK FOREWORD i CAME TO YOKOHAMA one bleak February afternoon, in gathering twilight, under a persistent drizzle of rain. Since we had sailed out of San Francisco a fortnight earlier, winter had been forgotten and the ship had ploughed calmly on day after day through sparkling blue waters. We had gathered on deck to watch the dolphins and flying fish. We had spent a day among the dazzling flowers and palms of Hawaii. Life had settled down quickly into a lazy routine. The Catholic priests, returning to missions in China and Manila, played bridge and smoked cigars from morning to night. American missionaries, male and female, recruited chiefly from the Middle West, constantly shot little glances at them that were barbed with spite and disapproval. These missionaries were most interesting people. With no knowledge of any language, any thought, any country but their own, with no preparation, indeed, of any kind, they were going to spill out over China and Japan, bringing to those ancient and complex civilizations the simple interpretation placed upon Holy Writ by their local communities or sects. Their confidence was sublime, and disheartening.
