B. entry, 'Storry's contacts with Japan were at mny levels, from members of the imperial family to ordinary working people . . . his romantic conservatism made him sympathetic to many of the traditional elements of Japanese life . . . He was a true interpreter of the Japanese to the British and of the British to the Japanese.' Read More Read Less
