References: "On the 11th of February we reached Yokohama.... In Canada, our mental picture of Japan is that of a country full of sturdy little men trained in the art of wrestling, and with their homes and streets filled with quaint-eyed women wearing very beautiful and gorgeous kimonos and carrying many colored umbrellas. But when we sail past modern fortifications and cement breakwater, and our boat ties up at a modern pier lined with warehouses of corrugated steel and brick, our dream quickly vanishes."; 1916 Letter from Dr. E. Kyle Simpson, Chungking, West China
