“I have studied the _In-Yō_,[17] and the science of divination; and I
make my living by telling peoples’ fortunes;—but I cannot possibly
understand how you know these things.”
[17] The Male and Female principles of the universe, the Active and
Passive forces of Nature. Yusai refers here to the old Chinese
nature-philosophy,—better known to Western readers by the name
FENG-SHUI.
