Hints and Echoes of Japanese Inner Life The fifteen essays in this captivating volume focus on the inner, rather than the outer, life of Japan. These stories penetrate to the heart of things Japanese: "Kimiko", a portrait of a beautiful geisha; "By Force of Karma", the story of a Buddhist monk; and "A Glimpse of Tendencies" all sum up Hearn's feelings about the country he adopted as his own.

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.
