Open Shrine To
Dead Emperor
Tokyo.—After six years' labor and
iin expenditure estimated at $10,000,
iiOO, the national shrine to the lata
Kiuperor Mutsublto was opened re
cently with solemn Shinto ceremonies,
and amid impressive manifestations
• >"f loyalty. For three days the popu
lace of Tokyo celebrated the occasion.
Every street was decorated with bunt
ing, and from the humblest door lan
terns were displayed iit night.
The municipality pave a llower show
and open-air performances and the
all-leal performances iu Hlbiya park,
but for the most part the festivities
were co-operatively organized by the
citizens in different wards. At hun
dreds of central points stages had
been erected, where vaudeville shows
were given and there were fireworks
both night and day.
Thousands From Country.
Over 250.0<.»u persons from the coun
try districts visited the city during
i he festival.
The shrine is a typical Shinto build
ing of plain wood, and of the simplest
possible construction. The opening
ceremony was attended by over 2,000
persons and officials, and lasted about
three hours The central feature was
the delivery to Prince Ichijo, warder
of the shrine, of the name tablets of
the late emperor, and their Installa
tion in the inner sanctuary.
Prince Kujo. n relative of the em
peror, delivered a commemorative ora
tion to which Prince Ichijo replied.
The shrine was thereafter opened to
the public and at least r.00.000 people
worshiped before it during the re
mainder of the day.
Tin? scene where these multitudes
of people were paying their respects
to the memory of the dead emperor
was impressive. The main entrance
to the shrine Is by means of a new
and very broad road about two miles
in length. Along this road all the day
and evening two great strings of peo
ple poured, one going lo the shrine,
tlie oilier returning.
The whole of this roadway was
brilliantly lighted and decorated with
tlags aud ornamental lanterns. But
on.'e the torli nt the entrance to the
shrine had been passed a great change
came over the scene. The modern
world was left behind, the gold and
red ornamentation ceased and the rest
of the way was made under the shade
of gigaitflc pine trees, which might
have been part of the virgin forests
of old Japan.
Pilgrims were ndtnittcd in groups of
about 200. Their journey ended In a
small paved courtyard Inclosed with a
low will. The shrine, a low, severely
plain building, was opposite the gale
way. and by the dim light of two large
paper lanterns about a dozen white
robed priests were seen moving slow
ly back and forih within the doorway.
They were sweeping up the coins that
rained continually on the steps of the
shrine.
Voices Are Silent.
Not a sound could be heard except
the light hand-clapping of the wor
shipers calling on the enshrined spirit
of the emperor. No human voice was
heard. There was not even an audible
prayer; in complete silence the multi
tude' paid their respects to the spirit
of Xleijl and passed on.
(la the two following davs the
shrine was again visited by hundreds
of thousands, and the proceedings
were enlightened by wrestling and oth
er public entertainments near the
shrine. The crown prince, on behalf
of the emperor, worshiped at the
shrine on Jhe second day.
It is Intended to associate the young
men of Japan especially with the
Meiji shrine. A huge stadium will be
built in the grounds of the shrine,
and it is expected that the principal
athletic events of Japan will be con
tested there in the future.
Splendid Tapestry Borders.
The finest of all borders existing
on extant tapestries are those by a
pupil of van Orley's called Joss van
Llere and belonging to a tapestry here
exhibited called "Komulus Proclaimed
King." It Is of gold, silk and. wool,
the third of a series of six representing
the foundation of Home, woven prob
ably from van Orley's designs, al
though the drawing* by him in Munich
Intended for tiie fame object do not
agree with this tapestry. The extra
ordinary beauty of the landscape In
the top left-luv'.id corner and the strewn
flowers in the forejivund make this
work u joy lu see.
