""By Nippon's Lotus Ponds: Pen Pictures of Real Japan"" is a book written by Matthias Klein and published in 1914. The book is a collection of essays and observations about Japan, its people, culture, and traditions. The author, who was a German diplomat and scholar, spent several years in Japan and had a deep appreciation for the country and its people. In this book, he shares his experiences and insights into Japanese life, covering topics such as the beauty of the Japanese landscape, the customs and traditions of the people, the art and architecture of the country, and the religious beliefs and practices of the Japanese. The book is richly illustrated with photographs and drawings that capture the essence of Japan and its people. It provides a fascinating glimpse into a country that was still largely unknown to the Western world at the time of its publication. ""By Nippon's Lotus Ponds"" is a must-read for anyone interested in Japan, its history, and its culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Japan, with regard to their feelings toward the country and its people, must pass through three stages, said a keenly observing Westerner, long resident in Japan, to me. In the first stage, the new arrival, prepared to find the country almost supernal, views everything through rose-coloured glasses. Next comes and it is liable to come quickly the period of disillusionment, when the pendulum swings to the other extreme, often leading to a complete revulsion of feeling and causing an utter inability to recognize qualities of which Japan may rightly be proud. The third stage is the happy medium, where with clarified vision both sides are conceded; and where grey and sombre colours, as well as those of brighter hues, are laid on in their proper proportion. The writings of globe-trotters and tourists almost invariably reflect the first stage, and the many extravagant and often laughable statements found in them may only be excused because of the writers brevity of time. They must necessarily pen their impressions on the spur of the moment, and every one knows how very often first impressions are incorrect.
