Hearn, Lafcadio. Out of the East and Kokoro. Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, 1922.
Price: US$175.00 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: 512pp. Fine binding. Limited large-paper edition: number 102/750. Volume VII of a sixteen volume set of The Writings of Lafcadio Hearn. Full morocco with oriental-influenced gilt decoration to covers, inner dentelles and five raised bands to spine. *** Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) was a journalist born in Greece (on the island of Lefkada - hence his name), raised in Dublin, and shipped off to America at the age of 19, where he became a journalist and author of a book of Creole cuisine. He was sent as a correspondent to the West Indies, and in 1890 was sent to Japan. He researched Japanese culture, religion and folk-tales, and wrote about them extensively, with the heart of someone who wanted to assimilate the culture rather than write about it from a Westerner's viewpoint. He married Koizumi Setsuko, the daughter of a samurai family where he was teaching, and took a Japanese name, Koizumi Yakumo. *** The two books of this volume, "Kokoro" and "Out of the East", relate Hearn's travels in Japan, and his descriptions of Japanese culture and folklore. Chapters include: "Of the Eternal Feminine", "The Stone Buddha", "Jiujutsu", "In Yokohama", and "In the Twilight of the Gods". *** Four of Hearn's Japanese tales formed the basis of the movie, Kwaidan (1964), by the Japanese director, Masaki Kobayashi. *** Condition: About Very Good, with front outer joint cracked and some wear to the corners of the covers. BAL 7977.

Koizumi Yakumo, born Patrick Lafcadio Hearn, was a Japanese writer of Greek-Irish descent best remembered for his books about Japanese culture, especially his collections of legends and ghost stories, such as Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things (1904). After emigrating to the United States at the age of 19, Hearn was sent as a correspondent to the French West Indies, where he stayed for two years, and then to Japan, where he would remain for the rest of his life. His best known works on Japanese subjects include: Gleanings in Buddha-Fields: Studies of Hand and Soul in the Far East (1897), Exotics and Retrospectives (1898), In Ghostly Japan (1899), and Japan: An Attempt at Interpretation (1904).
