TO AND FRO IN JAPAN

概要：

"To and Fro in Japan" presents various historic and scenic places in Japan, which the author has visited chiefly on the occasion of academic meetings of the Shakespeare Society of Japan. Only, it is not the academic meetings that he recalls, but the opportunity they offer for sight-seeing up and down Japan, whether before or after the main academic purpose has been fulfilled. The places are arranged not in chronological or geographical but in alphabetical order, from Akita, Fukuoka, Hiroshima and Kagoshima, by way of Kanazawa, Matsue, Matsuyama and Nagasaki, to Sapporo, Sendai, Tsuwano and Yamaguchi - so as to complete the number of 12. Together they constitute a hymn in praise of Japan.
