Side 667 - Imperial wisdom of itself ruled over all: truth and propriety being upheld, there was prosperity under heaven. In the middle ages, the ropes of the net were relaxed, so that men, toying with the Great Strength and striving for the Power, crowded upon the Emperor: and half the world tried to appropriate the people and to steal the land. Beating, and gnawing, and theft, and rapine, were the order of the day.
Side 668 - ... be laid aside after ten thousand years. Now, the great Government has been newly restored, and the Emperor himself undertakes the direction of affairs. This is indeed a rare and mighty event. We have the name [of an Imperial Government], we must also have the fact. Our first duty is to illustrate our faithfulness and to prove our loyalty.

Hence it is that we, in spite of our own folly and vileness, daring to offer up our humble expression of loyalty upon which we pray that the brilliance of the heavenly Sun may shine, with fear and reverence bow the head and do homage, ready to lay down our lives in proof of our faith.

The emperor and ex-emperor went in solemn state to the chief priest of Shinto, and, writing out their petitions to the gods, sent him as a messenger to the shrines at Ise.
Side 657 - ... and footmen in liveries. Some of these are carried in cangos, and the whole troop is headed by the prince's high-steward, carried in a norimon. " If one of the prince's sons accompanies his father in this journey to court, he follows with his own train immediately after his father's norimon.
Side 606 - Japanese tai-fu, or okaze, of appalling velocity and resistless force, such as whirl along the coasts of Japan and China during late summer and early fall of every year, burst upon the Chinese fleet. Nothing can withstand these maelstroms of the air. We call them typhoons; the Japanese say tai-fu, or okaze (great wind).
Side 655 - Liverymen excepted, clad in black silk, marching in an elegant order, with a decent becoming gravity, and keeping so profound a silence, that not the least noise is to be heard, save what must necessarily arise from the motion and rushing of their habits, and the trampling of the horses and men.
Side 655 - The cords of his war coat are golden ; and a wondrous garment of heavy silk — all embroidered with billowings and dragonings of gold — flows from his mailed waist to his feet, like a robe of fire.
