I really liked this article because it compares two distinctive cultures during the early 1900s. Norimasa was very descriptive in his observation of American customs and how it differs from his own. There's a part that Norimasa explained his incident with a cigarette and his sleeve. I was able to relate to this part because I myself am a smoker, who visited Japan and was at a lost of the smoker culture. It took me at least a few hours and a trip to Daiso, to assimilate into Japanese smoking community.
