In Ghostly Japan, Names of Incense Used., part 6, sentence 137

So the priest of Kobudera painted the name of the temple on her left side, in beautiful Chinese text; and the smith put the name of his shop on her right side; and the vegetable-seller put on her breast the ideographs for “eight-hundred,”—which represent the customary abbreviation of the word yaoya (vegetable-seller),—any yaoya being supposed to sell eight hundred or more different things.

Who acts: priest, smith, vegetable seller, customary abbreviation · What happens: paint, put, represent, suppose, sell, name · To what, where: name, left side, right side, ideographs, breast, customary abbreviation
