DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe strangest of all these begging-customs, however, is the one in vogue between Christmas and Twelfth Night. Then the children go out in couples, each boy carrying an earthenware pot, over which a bladder is stretched, with a piece of stick tied in the middle. When this stick is twirled about, a not very melodious grumbling sound proceeds from the contrivance, which is known by the name of 'Rommelpot.' By going about in this manner the children are able to collect some few pence to buy bread--or gin--for their fathers. When they stop before any one's house, they drawl out, 'Give me a cent, and I will pass on, for I have no money to buy bread.'

DOWNLOAD EBOOKGeorge William Knox was a Presbyterian missionary, stationed in Japan for fifteen years. This book looks briefly at the history of Japan, the religious traditions followed, and a look at the Samurai and their place in society under conditions old and new. The other folk who make up Japanese society include farmers, artisans and artists, merchants, women, and servants. These are listed in descending importance--the high position of farmers being but one of the most obvious differences in Western terms. Readers desiring to understand the country and people of Japan will find this book a distinct help, written in a clear and forceful style.
