Kibun Daizin; Or, From Shark-Boy to Merchant Prince
The Century Co. counts itself fortunate in being able to present to young readers an admirable story from the Japanese, written by one of Japans most popular novelists and filled with the spirit of that great Oriental nation. The author of this story, Gensai Murai, was once a student of the Waseda School, founded by Count Okuma, leader of the Progressive Party in Japan. There he studied English Literature as well as Japanese, and after completing his course of study he was employed by one of the well-known Tokio daily papers, called the Hochi, to write stories for it. His writings soon arrested the attention of the reading circles in Japan. Several of his novels went through as many as ten editions within two years. This story of Kibun Daizin is founded upon the life of Bunzayemon Kinokuniya, a Japanese merchant of the eighteenth century, whose viiipluck, wisdom, and enterprising spirit made him one of the most prosperous and respected men of his time. He is much admired by his countrymen, and is talked of familiarly, even to this day, by the Japanese, under the nickname of Kibun Daizin. Ki and Bun stand for the initials of his personal and family names, while Daizin means the wealthiest man. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
