Una serie di saggi brevi dai tratti narrativi, attraverso i quali Lafcadio Hearn tratteggia delicatamente alcune sfaccettature dell’animo nipponico.
Alcuni sono davvero delle piccole perle, come ad esempio “Da un diario di viaggio”, “La monaca del tempio di Amida”, “Un conservatore”, e “Riflessioni sul culto degli antenati”. (

A variety of anecdotes and journal entries printed in 1896 during the Meiji era (1868-1912) connotes Hearn’s strong conviction in spirituality, ethnicity, fine arts and nationality of Japan, a mysterious and exotic land to the Westerners waiting to be explored. (
