attractive.
The prevailing characteristic OF
Japanese art is simplicity, but II Is q
highly wrought simplicity. achieved,
not by economy of effort but by de-,

thing completely understood is the
Japanese idea. Contact with western
commerce is. however, affecting lap
anese ideas. and it is easy now to buy
Japanese things that are poor tmtta-
tions of western things. of which
they know little and for which they
care less, except as they are prof1-
able.
While it is still possible to find
things with the true Japanese touch,
things that express the true Ideals
Of this eastern people, let us choose
carefully. Let US be grateful to the
fine ideal of beauty that they teach
us. respect it, and make it part OF
our own ideal. but let us not. because
cheap labor can produce cheap wares

We buy Japanese things in porcelain,
