A Journal from Japan: A Daily Record of Life as Seen by a Scientist E-text prepared by Henry Flower and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive/American Libraries (https://archive.org/details/americana) "A Journal from Japan: A Daily Record of Life as Seen by a Scientist" by Marie C. Stopes is a scientific journal written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the author's experiences and observations during her time in Japan, focusing on both the natural environment and cultural aspects of Japanese life as she conducts her scientific research. The opening of the journal introduces readers to Stopes’s motivations for documenting her travels: to capture immediate impressions that might fade with time. She reflects on her journey as a female scientist, navigating the complexities of Japanese customs while seeking fossils and coal. The early entries detail her initial experiences in Tokyo, including her surprise at the city's waterways resembling those of Venice, her encounters with local customs, and her aspirations to immerse herself in Japanese culture while maintaining her scientific goals. As she describes her interactions with locals and her impressions of the landscape, it becomes evident that this journal offers a unique perspective on Japan during a transformative period, blending personal narrative with scientific inquiry.
