"The Motor Maids in Fair Japan" by Katherine Stokes is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows a group of adventurous young women, known as the Motor Maids, as they embark on a journey to Japan.

They are excited about this new chapter in their travels, moving from the familiarity of their coastal town to the exotic landscapes of Tokyo. As they arrive and settle into their new home, they are greeted by an array of interesting Japanese customs and colorful personalities, including the charming young maid Onoye.
