"Dragons and Cherry Blossoms" by Alice A. Parmelee Morris is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. This work details the author's observations and experiences in Japan as an American visitor, providing insights into both the beauty and cultural nuances of the country. The narrative is infused with a sense of wonder as the author explores the contrast between her preconceived notions of Japan and the reality she encounters upon arrival. At the start of the book, the author expresses her excitement and bewilderment upon reaching Yokohama, as her idealized vision of Japan clashes with the European-influenced setting before her. The opening chapters describe her observations of the foreign settlement, its inhabitants, and the unexpected blend of Eastern and Western cultures. Through personal reflections, she highlights her gradual understanding of Japanese customs, the significance of ordinary moments, and the people she encounters, setting the stage for her further exploration of the land of cherry blossoms and dragons.
