(★)(To many, as to me, Mr. Lancaster´s account of Japanese influences on the West will give great pleasure and profit. Complaints of the effects of Western culture on the Far East have been myriad and most of them justified. The more welcome then to have a book devoted to the reverse of the picture --the effect of Japanese art and culture on the Western scene. Few of us have had any idea of the extent of the Japanese influence, especially in gardens and architecture, and here is a clear and comprehensive account presented with clarity and charm. Mr. Lancaster´s book gives us quite another side to the changing scene and how much this country has gained from its contacts with Japan --the effects of the Philadelphia, Chicago, and St. Louis expositions, and the surprising numbers of houses and gardens in the last part of the nineteenth century either direct copies or more often modifications of Japanese originals.
