yesterday at his ancestral daimyo county-place overlooking the sea, and by showing some of the finest Tosa makimono in Japan. He has offered me another day in his city home - one of the most beautiful of all Japan. Ambassador Wright, whom I met at the White House, last year, is charming in his assistance and it now looks as if every collection imperial, daimyo, and national and ecclesiastic as well as those of private owners will be thrown open for my inspection. The refusal at Kioto museum has been fully atoned for. Now, my uncomfortable hours will be the result of the many treasures to be opened to my study which lack of time will force me to pass by unseen. A year's time at least would be wanted to see all.
