Darkness of japanese Villages.

Without having actually seen them.
You cannot imagine how dark some Jap
anese country villages remain, even in
the brightest and hottest weather. In
the Eeighborhood of Toxic itself there
are many villages of this kind. At a
short distance from such a settlement
you see no houses: nothing is visible but
a dense grove of evergreen trees.
The grove, which is usually composed
of young cedars and bamboos, serves to
shelter the village from storms, and also
TO supply timber for various purposes
So closely are the trees planted that
there is no room TO pass between the
trunks of them; they stand straight as
masts. and mingle their crests so as to
form a roof that excludes the sun. Eacn
thatched cottage occupies a clear space
in the plantation, the trees forming a
fence about il. double the height of the
building. Under the trees il is always
twilight, even at high noon: and the
houses, morning or evening. are half in
shadow. What makes the first impress
sion of such village almost disquieting
= not the transparent gloom. which has
certain weird charm of it's own, but
the stiffness.
There may he fifty or a hundred dwell
ings; but you see nobody: and hear no
sound but the twitter of invisible birds

shrilling cicadae. Even the cicadae find
these groves too dim. and sing family:
being san lovers, they prefer the trees
