Quotation from: The Strength of the Strong

Written by: Jack London


Came Japan and her victory over Russia in 1904. Now the Japanese
race was the freak and paradox among Eastern peoples. In some
strange way Japan was receptive to all the West had to offer.
Japan swiftly assimilated the Western ideas, and digested them, and
so capably applied them that she suddenly burst forth, full-
panoplied, a world-power. There is no explaining this peculiar
openness of Japan to the alien culture of the West. As well might
be explained any biological sport in the animal kingdom.
