The saloon of one of the steamships is a dream of beauty and luxury.

One pair of vases are worth ten thousand dollars.

As you leave this Temple you see on each side the finest specimens of Japanese art, painted and embroidered screens, all kinds of metal, laquear and ivory work; exquisite vases and priceless old delft wear, and there is a model Japanese house, you feel that you'd love to live in it.

There is one spring room in it that holds the very atmosphere of spring.
