  JAPANESE 
  HOME 
  OF 
  THE 
  COPPER 
  PHEASANT 
  

  

  These 
  beautiful 
  birds 
  like 
  the 
  shelter 
  of 
  low 
  grass 
  and 
  bamboo, 
  and 
  come 
  into 
  the 
  open 
  to 
  feed 
  upon 
  

   grubs 
  and 
  insects 
  and 
  acorns. 
  They 
  haunt 
  the 
  same 
  places 
  throughout 
  the 
  heat 
  of 
  summer 
  and 
  the 
  bitter 
  

   winds 
  of 
  winter, 
  often 
  roosting 
  in 
  trees 
  and 
  feeding 
  along 
  the 
  margin 
  of 
  streams, 
  almost 
  always 
  within 
  sight 
  

   of 
  the 
  splendour 
  of 
  Fuji.
