i6o THE WONDERFUL CITY OF TOKIO. Upon quitting the yashiki they saw an ameya (gluten figure maker), whereupon Fitz insisted upon stopping to watch the man. The ameya was seated behind a portable bench, in the cen- MAKER OF GLUTEN FIGURES. tre of which was an upright frame con- taining sticks surmounted by toys made of a species of barley sugar. He was a shrewd old fellow, and had little bead-like eyes that twinkled with merri- ment. In front of his stand were two boys and a girl who in- tently watched him. On seeing the Jewetts he sang a short song, to attract a larger crowd, then, bowing, said, " Honorable gentlemen and lady from afar, I know you are just dying for me to make you some beautiful object. Tell me, what shall it be ? A gourd for your sake, a rat on a dai- kon, or a bunch of cherry blooms. Order whatever you like! Nothing is impossible for me to model. Call for anything in the way of fish, and I will make it before your eyes."
AMONG THE PORCELAIN MAKERS. l6l To Fitz " You look hungry, O bo-san, what will you have?" " A dozen fellow. blue points on the half shell," said the merry The ameya grinned as though he were puzzled, bowed and said, " Honorable sir, do not be too hard on a poor man who has to earn his daily rice. When I said order anything, I did not mean the blue dragons you refer to," adding aside, "though I never heard of them having half a shell. I will not wait for any more talk, but will make you a monkey eating a peach." He took a short piece of hollow bamboo from a little drawer in the stand, dipped the end of it in a very thick, glu- tinous paste, that was in a dish before him, and began to distend it, just as a glass-blower does a molten mass of the vitreous substance. The young Americans watched him with the greatest in- terest, and admired the way in which he manipulated the sweetstuff. After blowing out the mass until it was four times its orig- inal size, he pinched it here, nipped it there, and, finally, modelled a very correct representation of a monkey eating a momo. He detached it from the blow-pipe and fastened it to a short bamboo rod, then seized some brushes, placed them between his fingers, charged their points with paint, dexter- ously colored the model, and, holding it out, said, " Honorable sir, here is your saru (monkey). I never make any charge to honorable foreigners, they give me what they like." The boy handed him a few sen, which the ameya picked up and put in his sleeve, saying in a grumbling tone, " Merciful Kuwannon, these foreigners know as much as
