Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from China
The most delightful portion of the voyage from Japan to China lies in the Japanese Mediterranean, known as the Inland Sea. It is a miniature ocean, practically land - locked for three hundred miles, with both shores constantly in sight, yet strewn with islands of all shapes and sizes, from small and uninhabited rocks to wave-encircled hills, terraced and culti yated to their very summits. It seems as if volcanic action here had caused the land to sink, until'the ocean rushed in and submerged it, leaving only the highest peaks above the waves.
