page 56 note † The two Chinese characters which stand for the word “Goze” mean literally “blind woman”: the character meaning “blind” is a compound of the one for “hand-drum” and the one for “eye” —a curious coincidence, as the blind in the Far Eastern cultures have been making their living in the musical professions since the earliest times.
