After spending a year in Tokyo, American teacher Alice Mabel Bacon
(1858-1918) became the first author to usher Western readers into
the graceful, paper-walled realm of the Japanese woman. An intimate
friend of several Japanese ladies, Bacon was privy to a domestic
world which remained closed to male visitors. This 1891 work begins
with birth and childhood, including the colourful, kimono-like
dress of infants, their ornate dolls, and their education in
handwriting, flower painting and etiquette. Trained for a lifetime
of service to her husband and his parents, the Japanese woman was
praised for her loyalty and obedience. But new Western influences,
especially on education, were challenging the old ways. Bacon
evocatively depicts Japanese women unsettled by their modern
education, yet saddled with traditional cultural expectations. With
its insight into Japan's class system, cultural history and moral
framework, this book remains an essential complement to any study
of Japanese social history.
In 1891 the author described the life of girls and women growing up
in Japan. 120 years later this book is republished to give the 21st
century reader an historical perspective.
