Publisher's Synopsis
The Custom of the Country: Tales of New Japan is a collection of short stories written by Mrs. Hugh Fraser and published in 1899. The stories are set in Japan and explore the customs and traditions of the country from the perspective of Westerners. The collection includes tales of love and romance, as well as stories of cultural clashes and misunderstandings. The characters in the stories range from Japanese royalty to Western businessmen, and each story offers a unique glimpse into the complex and fascinating world of turn-of-the-century Japan.
