520			_a"Samurai Trails: A Chronicle of Wanderings on the Japanese High Road" by Lucian Swift Kirtland is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the journey of the author and his companion as they embark on an exploration of Japan's ancient routes, particularly the famous Tokaido, seeking unique cultural experiences away from typical tourist paths. Their adventure is rich with observations about the Japanese landscape, tradition, and the everyday life of its people. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Kirtland's dreamy anticipation for his upcoming journey while reminiscing about a previous trip with a friend. As he arrives in Kyoto after a month of travels across Asia, he is excited yet contemplative about the challenges ahead. The story quickly transitions to his meeting with his travel companion, who shares his enthusiasm for wandering through Japan without the constraints of guides or itineraries. They set out on a quest to visit Kenjiro Hori, a friend from their university days in America, and their adventure begins, filled with rich detail about their interactions with locals, the exploration of the Tokaido, and the personal reflections that punctuate their travels.
