ese strangely hatted men are Komu-so priests, photographed at Kyoto;
Japan, by passengers on the Canadian Pacific flagship Empress of Scot-
land now completing a cruise of the world. These men have been dispossessed
of their estate for political offenses and, to hide their shame, wear these
baskets over their heads. Judging by the beautiful silk garments, lavish]
ornamented, which they are wearing, they don’t make a bad living of travel»
