About this title

About the Author

Hearn (1850-1904) was born in Levkas, Greece, as the son of Greek and British parents. In 1869 he went to the United States and did various work, finally as a journalist. In 1890 he came to Japan and taught English in Japanese schools, and became a Japanese citizen under the name of Koizumi Yakuma. He died in Tokyo.

Synopsis

MY little two-story house by the Ohashigawa although dainty as a bird-cage proved much too small for comfort at the approach of the hot season-the rooms being scarcely higher than steamship cabins and so narrow that an ordinary mosquito-net could not be suspended in them.
