THE freshness OF JAPAN.
Appearance of the Shamrock in the
Pacific Empire.


Pacific Empire.
For the information of Phelim Tur
Tough McFibb and his clansmen, re-
garding the "McAdoos of Ireland" in
Japan, beg to state that the japanese
shamrock mitzu-aoie (three leaves
in a circle) forms the blazon of the
Tokugawa family, and is said to have
been adopted by them when Chiuami
retired to the provinces of Mikani,
where at the village of Sakaimura he
was presented with cakes laid upon
three similar leaves. In honor of this
event the family adopted it as their
cognizance. Mafzudaira Tarozaiemon,
who adopted Chikuami, lived near the
village, and when his family and that
of Sakai were subsequently incorpor-
ated as one, the name Tokugawa was
selected and Katubamikusa, the green
sorrel herb Japanese siamrock), be-
came the, crest of their descendants.
This is the three-leaved clover (good
luck plant) of Japan and belongs not
to the Mikados family, but to the pie
beian Tokugawas, who reigned in tenn
poraI matters only 267 years down to
1867 1t is now but faded flower.
The Bushi (Samurai, or servant
class of Japan had instituted the Gus
tom of using crests, which they wore
On their clothing, or banner, or armor,
and other property as badge of servil-
ity to distinguish them in their service
from some other family's servants. 1t
was deemed a high honor for "re-
tainer'' (servant, cook, groom, garden
err, house boy) that he should be per-
mitted to wear his masters crest. He
thus could fight in his masters cause,
with the sword which by the wearing
Of crest he was permitted to carry
Only those vulgar servants of persons
who did not have crests were not per-
mitted to carry a sword to fight in the
masters quarrels with neighbors
Therefore, these lower orders of ser
want class instituted iiu-jitsu to offset
the sword when they fought with each
other. Jiu-jitsu was never practised
by gentleman's servants 'Samurai)
excepting as defence. They preferred
the sword. Jiu-jitsu is the biackguards
game of fighting in Japan. No gentle
man ever practised it. Only the low
est ruffians make use of it. In course
of time, therefore, the wearing of a
crest (some fower) finally became
general.
The crest of the Japanese shamrock
hence is not very ancient, and never
belonged to the "McAdoos" in. Japan.
The Kiku (cArysanthemunn repre-
senting the SUM and a leaf named
"Kiri" (Paulonia) are appropriated by
the Mikado's family.
Red is the imperial color Of the Mi
kado, not green.
Prince imperial in Japanese is
mike" and he always remains Mike,
even when his father enters the priest
hood, and has 20" added to his name,
as sufix, but not as prefix. In this
case all the children excepting the
prince imperial add the sufix 20" to
their name and use it forever AFTER

been left behind. insisted on returning
TO rescue them. Rushing through the
flames and smoke he disappeared from
