Sports of Century Ago.
Within a few PAGES the visitor passes
on TO the Kamakura period tfrom the es-
Enlistment OF the feudal capital of
Kamakura in 1882 to the fall in 1888
of the HOBO family. Here are depicted
the popular sports of that epoch, and
we see Samurai in the excitement of
the chase, hunting the wild boar, the
stag, or with falcons eager for the
quarry The eighth tableau shows a
performance of the classic No" dance,
in the Ashikaga times, with all its
wealth of color and gorgeous costumes;
while the ninth reveals a Samurai with
his family at meal, about the time
when, in the Momoyama period the
tenth scene is devoted to a cherry
blossom picnic in the Tokugawa perl
Cd (l626-lS6T), to which fair danes and
maidens are borne in gay palanquins.
The next view consists of a repre-
-sentation of the tea ceremony, which
came into vogue since the Ashikaga
days.
