		Chamberlain writes to Hearn, "a child of any race learns with equal facility the language of any foreign country he may be born in." Chamberlain adds that foreign children born in Yokohama learn to eat Japanese food just the same as Japanese children "if they have been left much with the native servants."
		Chamberlain was one of the first Westerners to achieve a high degree of competence in Japanese.
		Although Chamberlain never claimed to be able to perform such a trick, he did present a paper at the Royal Asiatic Society in 1880 on the historical style of Japanese most suitable for translating the Psalms.

		IN REVIEWING the life of Basil Hall Chamberlain (1850-1935), one of its astonishing aspects is that it stretched from the last years of the long Tokugawa period (1603-1867) to the rise of Japanese militarism on the eve of World War II.
		To the surprise of all, Chamberlain remained in Japan for almost four decades primarily because of, in the words of his biographer, "the charm of Japan" (p.
		Chamberlain's scholarly accomplishments are too vast and well-known to be detailed in a brief review, but suffice it to say that his influence on the incipient field of Japanese studies was very large and, even today, his early work cannot be ignored.

	D5 Basil Hall Chamberlain, Japan, and English-Language Verse

		Chamberlain’s equation of the ‘lyric drama’ of Japan with the drama of classical Greece is echoed two decades later in the more famous elaboration of the point by Fenollosa, who acknowledges Chamberlain’s work (see 10b and BK13b).
		Chamberlain’s translations are discussed in honorific terms by Binyon (BC9), Blunden (BD47, 73, 117, 138), Bynner (BE8), Fletcher (BH15, 22c), and Plomer (BJ10d), though insulted by Lowell for their conventional forms (BI19).

		But Basil must still have felt something for his brother, for when Houston found himself in dire financial straits at the end of the war, Basil came to his aid.
		Basil was not apparently present, but he did arrange for Eva to receive an annuity after Houston’s death.
		Basil never apparently pronounced directly on his brother’s views in public, but the letters sent from Geneva to Sugiura Tõshirõ register his dismay at the growing ‘scandal about brother Houston’, and later passages in revised versions of Things Japanese refer with considerable scorn to the concept of the ‘Yellow Peril’.

	Aino Folk-Tales, INTRODUCTION
		Basil Hall Chamberlain, Professor of Philology at the Tokyo University, who has taken down from the Ainos the present collection of their tales, and prefaced it with an account of their ways and state of mind.
		For instance, we learn from Professor Chamberlain's above-mentioned treatise why it is that Panaumbe ("on the lower course of the river") does the clever things, while Penaumbe ("on the upper course of the river") is the stupid imitator who comes to grief.
		Of all the difficulties felt by the student of folk-lore the greatest is that of judging how far those who tell and listen really believe their childish wonder-tales of talking beasts and the like, or how far they make and take them as conscious fun.

		All the deities of Shinto were once men, and the chief of them are now worshiped by the leading noble families of the imperial court as their ancestors.
		Nevertheless, Shinto is still a living force with millions of the Japanese: and the grave problem now before the minds of earnest patriots is the transmutation of the old popular reverence for the throne and person of the mikado as divine, into the new loyalty of intelligent respect.

	Onsen, the Japanese bath - Travel Photos by Galen R Frysinger, Sheboygan, Wisconsin
		In his quintessential tome Things Japanese (1890), humorist and Japan-expert Basil Hall Chamberlain wryly observed 'Cleanliness is one of the few original items of Japanese civilization’.
		Chamberlain was impressed by the Japanese mania for onsen (mineral hot-spring spas), not least by the pool in rural Gunma-ken where 'the bathers stay in the water for a month on end, with a stone on there lap to prevent them from floating in their sleep’.
		A century later, onsen addicts may not be weighing themselves down with boulders, but fascination with hot springs remains as strong as ever, and the activity has developed into a fine art with its own rules of etiquette.

		These terms were obviously not new in the mid-20th century, since, as the above quotation from B.H. Chamberlain discloses, the modern was already evident—and in apparently unsettling ways—in the Japan of 1891.
		And, as the above quotation from John Hall discloses, by mid-20th century it was widely perceived that the world, or at least important parts of it, had changed in altogether obvious ways and in remarkably rapid fashion.
		Finally, immediately upon the conclusion of the Institute proper in July 2002, the participants were expected to begin the infusion of the curricula of their home institutions with their recently acquired insights, and to share these insights with the broader scholarly community in the form of revised syllabi, likewise posted at the web site.

	Bess, Bamboo in Japan - Review
		It is very much a part of the history and culture of the country; as Basil Hall Chamberlain noted early on, "So extensive is the part played by bamboo in the Japanese domestic economy that the question is rather, what does it not do?"
		Bamboo, as Nancy Moore Bess discovers, has its own crafts, its own part in the traditional arts, in the home, in the garden, in the cuisine.
		It has permeated the language, it plays its part in rituals, in architecture, in the grand assembly hall as well as in the humble kitchen.

		By the time Lafcadio reached Japan, he was aching for a home.
		Thus, like his close friend and contemporary, Basil Hall Chamberlain, Hearn was not content to go for his scheduled six weeks and scribble a few articles.
		As he wrote later, the exoticism of Japan captivated him with "the same kind of madness as the first love of a boy." It led him to quit Harper's, cancel his return journey to New York, and adopt Japanese citizenship and a Japanese name.

	MH Book Review—Haga Toru
		There are also illustrations at the beginning of the book, of the original volume, of fans that Claudel inscribed with poems, and of a notebook that he kept with musings on certain Chinese characters.
		Haga traces the background to this, from the early English versions of haiku done by Basil Hall Chamberlain and W.G. Aston, on through the discovery and imitation of haiku by Paul Louis Couchoud (1879– 1956), most of which happened around the turn of the century.
		In this he covers much the same ground as Jeffrey Johnson did in the last issue of this journal, with some minor differences in detail.
