Excerpt from Japan
Among these hairy people the bear is an animal held in great regard. It is impossible to discover whether this arises from the bear having been an object of worship in other days, but the bear festival is the chief event in their year. In every Aino village the hunters go up to the mountains in spring and bring back a live young bear cub. They hand this over to a woman who nurses and feeds it. When it gets too old to be left loose, it is shut up in a Strong cage, and there kept until the autumn of the year after its capture.
N ow comes the time of the great bear festival, and all is excitement in the Aino Village. The hunters gather about the cage armed with knives and spears, with clubs, bows and arrows. The bear has been kept without food for some time and is raging with hunger. This angry mood they heighten by a score of teasing tricks which reduce the bear to a state of fury, then, upon a given signal, the door of the cage is flung open. The bear rushes out and charges upon his tormentors. The latter dash to meet him with equal fury, and assail him with their weapons. A wild struggle follows, and the bear falls under a shower of blows and stabs. The body is cut up, and each family receives a piece, upon which they feast with great delight. If you ask an Aino what this bear feast means he cannot tell you. It is a custom which goes back beyond memory or tradition, and it is the great day Of their year.

Excerpt from Japan
I. The Legendary Emperors
Names and dates are here uncertain. The period probably ranges from 660 B.C. to A.D. 645: It is supposed that the Empire was founded by Prince Jimmu Tenno about 660 B.C.
II. The Puppet Emperors
This period ranges from A.D. 645 to A.D. 1186. During this time up to A.D. 1050 the Fujiwara family were in a position of great authority, and exercised the powers of government. After them the Taira family rose to prominence. The Taira were crushed by the Minamoto, whose chief Yoritomo became Shogun, or acting Emperor, in 1186.
III. Mikado and Shogun (or Tycoon)
This period lasted from A.D. 1186 to A.D. 1868. The Mikado was always the Emperor, but the Shogun governed on his behalf. The Shogunate was usually held by the chief of a great family.
Dynasty of Minamoto Shoguns, 1186-1219.
Dynasty of Shadow Shoguns, 1220-1334 (so called because the power was in the hands of the Hojo family, whose chiefs were called Regents).
Dynasty of Ashikaga Shoguns, 1334-1573.
Dynasty of Usurping Shoguns, 1573-1603.
Dynasty of Tokugawa Shoguns, 1603-1868.
IV. The Modern Emperors, A.D. 1868 To Present Day
The Emperor regains his ancient power, and the Shogunate is abolished.
