Comments and Context
In Charles C. Myers’s own words, “Entrance to Ueno Park where was also held mant banquets to entertain the men of the American Fleet. Everything was free. I also visited several of the noted Japanese Temples. One Temple that was built over 300 yrs ago is yet in perfect shape and finished inside in gold and the aechitectural designs would even puzzle the artizan of today. The Japanese are noted for their cleanliness and when visiting any of their churches as well as many other buildings you are required to leave your shoes at the entrance and you will find everything within as clean as a dining room table.
Even some of the larger department stores have waiters at the door to place moccasins over your shoes so that no dirt may get in the store and that you may not scratch the smooth floor, with your shoes.”
