Summary: "Letters from China and Japan" by John Dewey and Harriet Alice Chipman Dewey is a collection of letters written in the early 20th century. The book captures the experiences and reflections of John Dewey, a prominent philosopher, and his wife, Alice, during their travels in Japan and later in China. It presents keen observations on cultural interactions, societal views, and daily life in these countries, offering insights into the pair's journey amidst the backdrop of historical events unfolding during that time. The opening of the book introduces the Deweys in Tokyo, where they delight in the colorful chaos of the city, from its fashion to the lively street scenes. John's humorous accounts blend personal anecdotes with cultural commentary as he notes the peculiarities of Japanese clothing and local customs. As they navigate Tokyo's winding streets with little knowledge of the language, their awe for the unfamiliar sights shines through. The narrative sets the stage for their exploration of Japan's rich history, philosophy, and contemporary issues, while also revealing their desire to connect deeply with the culture and people they encounter along the way.
