The third volume, in English, con- tains, with a number of essays, stories and poems, the libretto called ” The White Fox,”-Okakura’s last production – which still awaits the Rimsky- Korsakoff or the Puccini who shall make it live on the operatic stage. The first, in Japanese, contains a biographical sketch of Okakura-Kakuzo, various essays on art and kin- dred subjects, poems and familiar letters.
The stories were selected from Oriental legend – Persian and Japanese – and in all cases were such as could be illustrated by objects in the Museum collections. The second, also in Japanese, contains Okakura’s lec- tures at the Art School in Tokyo on the history of Japanese art.

The deity wears also the usual jewelry – earrings, necklace, brace- lets, and possibly a sacred thread; whether or not he wears a waist cord cannot be seen. Orders may be addressed to the Secretary of the Museum.
