Page "lore" Paragraph 1192

It was thrilling to see the effect of an American-trained teacher on Japanese students in a class in Home Planning.

Our Masu is one of the very few architects in Japan who is trying to plan homes around family functions and women's needs.

I am told the time will soon come when women will find it necessary to do most of their own work, and even now it is important to have conveniences for the use of servants.

Many of the features of the homes are the latest modern devices in American homes, but an interesting blend of cultures finds us using Japanese artfulness in our own Western architecture at the same time that the Japanese are adopting Western utility patterns.
