228 Japanese Miscellany — Hari wa hariya no kusare-bari, Ito wa itoya no kusare-ito ! — Anesan, setta ni chi ga tsuita — Sore wa chi ja nai — beni ja mono Osaka beni koso iro yokere ; Iro no yoi hodo ne ga takai. — Citrons, oranges, — how many did you eat ? — Upstairs in the honorable temple I ate three. — As for that honorable temple,^ by whom was it built ?

And now, by way of conclusion, let me state that in preparing this rather lengthy paper I could only hope to furnish the reader with a new experience, — an experience somewhat like that of passing, for the first time, through Japanese streets. The first general impression of a Japanese street must be, for most people, even more vague than strange. Unless you happen to have senses of superlative delicacy, — unless you possess a visual faculty like that of Pierre Loti, for example, — you can remember very little, and understand almost nothing, of what you looked at while passing through that street. Nevertheless you will find yourself surprised and pleased ; — you will feel, without knowing why, the sensation of the elfish and the odd, — the charm of the unexpected. Well, in all the child-songs which I have quoted, perhaps less than half-a-dozen fairly arrested your attention ; and of the rest you probably remem- * Bint Is used chiefly to color the lips. :
