ANCIENT TALES AND FOLKLORE OF
R. GORDON SMITH
62 illustrations in colour by Japanese artists.
his book is a treasure trove of ancient orientál life. The author, R. Gordon Smith spent nine years in Japan searching for rare and beautiful objects for the British Museum and, during this time, he came in contact with people from all walks of life and he wrote down all the stories and legends that he was told. Many romantic tales are told of the intrepid Europeans who travelled the Orient in search of plants, Forrest and 'Chinese' Wilson are names familiar to every gardener and botanist in the country, but the treasures found and recorded by R. Gordon Smith are equal to the finest magnólia ever gathered in the furthest province of Yunan.
It contains the legendary tales of a whole civilisation. Japan was a warrior nation and many of the stories are of the samurai and the famous warriors of the past but there are many stories alsó of lőve and passión while strange ghosts and eerie gods stalk like spectres through the pages.
As the author says in his preface he is at pains in this book to give a mixture of stories: stories of mountains, trees and flowers, of passión, history and legend. Anyone reading this book will savour the Japanese mythology and way of life.
But above all the author telis of lőve, the universal passión that can be understood in every country and every language in the world.
The book is accompanied by the most marvellous colour plates taken directly from Japanese artists. They above all else convey the flavour of this truly wonderful book. Vissza
