ABSTRACT

DISAPPOINTMENT wells over the average foreigner as the liner on which he has crossed the Pacific ties up at the dock at Yokohama. The excitement that comes with landing on foreign soil does not conquer this disappointment as he steps into a jinrikisha and is trotted through the modern streets of the port city to the railway station. If he catch the electric train to Tokyo, he is further depressed during this ride of forty, fifty minutes, and the drab and non-exotic appearance of the capital city certainly does not serve to cheer him up.
