P. 11

The artist has done a fine piece of work, but he







                          would not dream of exalting its merits. He admits






                          that he may have made mistakes. He is modest.














                          Perhaps the Japanese artist really thinks that his






                          work deserves compliments. I cannot tell his







                          thoughts. But at any rate he does not boast and







                          his behaviour is pleasing.
