"The Spell of Japan" by Isabel Anderson is a travelogue about a modern-day trip to Korea and Japan. It takes the readers through Japanese-occupied Korea, to the splendors of the Imperial court of Tokyo and the gilded temples of Kyoto. It is an illuminating journey for the armchair traveler, the modern tourist, and amateur historian alike. The book, therefore, is rightly entitled to carry the title of Spell, for it shows Japan at its very best; it makes one understand the glamour which the courteous manners, the elaborate customs, the harmonious costumes, the perfect Art everywhere displayed, cast over all those who have been fortunate enough to visit the Land of the Rising Sun.
