A scarce imprint, with no available online copies of this Doran edition at the time of this listing. While ostensibly an observation of life in Japan, the author starts out with a trip to mainland China from Hong Kong; the first 30 pp. cover his views of China. The frontispiece photograph shows shops and shopkeepers in Canton.
