Some of them have been selected from the Ko-ji-ki, or Record of Ancient Matters, which contains the mythology of Japan. Many are told from memory, being relics of childish days, originally heard from the lips of a school fellow or a nurse. Certain of them, again, form favorite subjects for representation upon the Japanese stage." A lovely copy of this beautiful book. Ill.: Warwick Gobel. Very good .
