THE GREAT BELL OF THE CHION-IN TEMPLE IN KYOTO 

 At the height of the flower season, in April, when all Japan is in festive mood, the air of Kyoto is 

 flooded with the melodic peals from this deep-throated bell. At a distance in the stillness of the dawn, one 

 cannot tell whence come its soft reverberations.
