tions made by the merchants of these
two countries are among the larges
in the Foreign Arts Building.
Both counties have adopted the
San Diego idea of showing processes
rather than products exclusively
Consequently, the most notable feat
ure in Japan's exhibit will be the
weaving and embroidery of the. rare
silk costumes for which Japan is ia
nous. the hammering Of the bronzes
and the laborious carving of wood
and ivory. Some of the finer work.
Of art require several years for COM
pletion. Different stages Of this
work and the painstakins methods OF
the artisans Will be shown-in act
ual process.
In another quarter Of the japan
ese exhibit will be demonstrated the
weaving of the broad d-brImmed For
mosa hats Of hemp and chip. The
weaving of the silk will be performed
by new types ov machinery and also
in the old style hand process which
produces the most extraordinary re-
suits.
Similarly, one of the Russian eX-
hibitors, Madame Vera de Blumen-
thai, will show what the peasant wo-
man OF her country can do. Madame
Blumenthal has lived in this country
for several years. devoting most of
her time to aiding her countrywomen
in marketing their wares In the
United States, obtaining better pric-
es than they had been getting and
so enabling them to advance some
what in the social scale. A percent
age of the profit has been set aside
as fund for educating the peasant
children, particularly in the Kous-
tani arts, with view to developing
the weaving and embroidery work of
the Russian peasant into a standard
industry.
Until Nine. Blumenthal took an
active interest IN the work the Rus
sian rug was little known In this
country, but last year she was invit-
ed to send exhibits to various con-
ventions, and the choicest articles
won high awards. She is counting
on the 1915 demonstration to aid her
educational work materially.
A little distance from the peasant
rug weavers will be the typical Rus
sian cottage. There peasant girls in
their native costume will serve tea
from the samovar in Russian style
just as the Japanese across the build
ing are serving tea in Japanese style.
The cigarette making, glass manu-
facture, iron working and the other
principal Russian arts will be shown
and everywhere will be carried out
the program showing the process of
manufacture. allowing the visitor op-
portunity to see exactly how the
goods are made.
