Tietjens, Eunice. Japan, Korea and Formosa [ID D32289]. [Auszug]. This is a rich photographic source, covering Japan and her two colonies: Korea & Formosa. A very good look at Japan and her islands, people, Yokohama, Tokyo, of the beaten path, Mt. Fuji, strange food, "The human ants in Nagasaki," holy places, Osaka, Nagoya &c. Korea: the land of Hats. Formosa, the Beautiful. An excellent pre World War II guide. "For a great many years this island of Formosa was a terror that haunted all the Western sailors who sailed in those seas. The sea around it is the birthplace of terrible tropical typhoons, which spring up suddenly and sweep helpless ships onto the sharp cliffs, where they are dashed to pieces. And, before Japan tamed her tiger, if a few poor half-drowned sailors managed to land, they were usually captures by the savages who lived there and killed by them. Their heads were preserved as trophies and their bodies eaten, for theses savages were cannibals." |
