SPRING
BLOSSOMS.
WITH
EIGHT COLOURED
PLATES.
TURNER & FISHER:
NEW YORK AND PHILADELPHIA.
Here, for the infant minds, fair spring,
Blossoms of bright truth we bring,
Seeds of virtue there to sow,
Ere a single weed can grow.
Here may you learn how sweet the bliss,
To worship nature’s loveliness,
Escaping through her flow’ry charm,
Each thought or wish to do a harm.
For when the tender buds of truth,
Expand within the minds of youth,
They cast a bloom around the heart
That will not but with life depart.
Then take these tender blossoms rare,
Preserve their sweets with gentle care,

He falls in love with a ge
This is one of my favorite books, the kind I like to re-read when I need a break from the current crop of new fiction, which has left me underwhelmed lately. It’s not only the gentle love story of a shy Boston engineer and a beautiful geisha; it’s also an interesting and eye-opening look at 1960s Ja
Just delightful! Funny and sweet, it's a love story set in Japan in the early 1960s, with well-drawn, nuanced characters.
This is a very sweet and beautifully-written book by the same author who wrote In the Heat of the Night. This book is very different. It was published in 1964, so it is very dated to that time ... both for America and Japan. It is basically a love story, but it is very educational about the differen
World War II is over. Japan is beginning to industrialize. Their factories can create intricate pieces sought by U.S. industries as they dip their toes into becoming global.

"Miss One Thousand Spring Blossoms" can be read with enjoyment on several levels, as a romance, as a cultural odyssey, or even as a clever presentation of mid-20th-century industrial practices in Japan. It succeeds on all those levels, but my favorite theme is the growth of the American protagonist
