The Japanese send no "bonze" or Buddhist priest to accompany the mission, nor do I see an idol or picture, or the least symbol of their religion among them. Evidently the Japanese attach the smallest importance and sacredness to their religion, however expensive and ornate their temples, since no less than seven have recently been expurgated of their idols at Kanagawa, only within the distance of three or four miles, and that by the order of the Government, and given up for the use of Europeans and Americans, among whom are three American missionary families. Even the priests take all very quietly, who have been expelled with their idols.
