＊"Shinkozaikurenga no Michisuji" 1927
The vertical writing of the original text was changed to horizontal writing and Chinese numerals were changed to Western numerals.

　The beauty of this modern girl is based on the beauty of the "Western style" as the type of beauty of the rabbit horn. Clothes are rather small and there are many Japanese kimonos, but the expression of "beauty" is based on Western-style beauty. The face is the Japanese face as well as the face, but it harmonizes it well with the Western-style beauty. And it is by no means translating, or not forcibly similar to the Europeanization of a period, it is a very natural kind of beauty. In other words, it can be said that the Orient-like beauty has disappeared from the face of the Japanese, and it has naturally become a Western-style face.

　This can be said about the face of today's Kabuki actors. In the old days of Tanosuke, the fifth generation Kikugoro, or today's middle car, Gennosuke, etc. had a relaxed, stylish, oriental style place, but the faces of today's actors are exceptions However, it seems that he has no taste during this time, and he is a good man who is crisp, but it feels like Valentino-like.

　These things are truly natural, and Japan will have to leave Japan in the future, both economically, ideologically and all kinds of vital needs, such as medicine, politics, military, law, etc.
