The Japanese have long been celebrated as expert acrobats, and they put their agility to good purpose in celebrating their various victories by giving performances in the streets. Here we have an acrobat performing on a pole. Kobe is neither beautiful nor interesting. It has been said that "unpicturesque middle age is the characteristic of the town." The Japanese quarter has been marred by what has been regarded by some as civilisation. At the back of the town, however, there are delightful hills and downs.

Condition is Very Good.
