Thirty-three years after Hearn's death, Kazuo finally addressed the large group of correspondence remaining from Hearn's letters and replies to colleagues. . Published here for the first time, it consists of a host of letters from Basil Hall Chamberlain, Prof. Masakazu Toyama, Prof. Yuzo Tsubouchi, and the replies to Hearn inquiries about his parents. . *** Prof. Chamberlain befriended Hearn from the first day of his arrival in Japan and was his closest friend and correspondent during his residence there. Hearn's letters to him have already been published, and now his son Kazuo Koizumi [Hearn] has collected those in which the Professor replied. In one of them, he wrote that "Nothing, to my taste, can atone for want of truth and balance. I like moderation, sobriety, and all that the Greeks meant by '[xxxx Greek word inserted]'." And this quality informs his correspondence. It contains no surprising or appetizing intimacies but continually impresses by a blend of friendliness and judicious thought. Many of the topics dealt with are necessarily Japanese, and his estimate of the Japanese by comparison with Europeans is more interesting as coming from such a lover of Japan. But the letters are almost as full of literary comments as of topical references, and the critical quality of these is high. Indeed, the letters have a value apart from their relation to Hearn as the expression of a finely balanced mind and character of unusual integrity. . *** A very useful and valuable book which shows the nature of Hearn's thoughts and the intricate relationship he maintained with his colleagues. A superb resource, intellectually stimulating source book. . *** The work is enhanced by a large folding sample about Japanese theatre, and a frontispiece of Chamberlain, with his signature, various letters from colleagues, and a total of eleven b.w. photographs, including those of Hearn et al. . *** THE BINDING & EDITION: .
