""Peeps At Many Lands: Japan"" is a great resource for anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating country and its people.When the play began every one paid close attention, for it was a great historical play, and the Japanese go to the theatre and take their children there in order to learn history. There are represented the old wars, the old feuds, the struggle of Daimio against Daimio--in short, the history of old Japan. When an actor gave pleasure, the audience flung their hats on the stage. These were collected by an attendant, and kept until the owners redeemed them by giving a present. For six hours O Hara San and Taro sat in their little box, laughing, shouting, eating, and drinking, while the play went on. Then it was over, for it was only a short play, at a cheap theatre. ""Ah!"" said their father, ""when I was a boy we had real plays.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
