Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan, Vol. 1 (Paperback)
Published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, 2015
ISBN 10: 1514797739 ISBN 13: 9781514797730
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan, Volume 1 Patrick Lafcadio Hearn [aka Koizumi Yakumo] was born in Lefkas, Greece. He was a son of an army doctor Charles Hearn from Ireland and a Greek woman Rosa Cassimati. After making remarkable works in America as a journalist, he went to Japan in 1890 as a journey report writer of a magazine. But as soon as he arrived in Yokohama, he quit the job because of a dissatisfaction with the contract. After that, he moved to Matsue as an English teacher of Shimane Prefectural Middle School. In Matsue, he got acquainted with his lifelong friend Nishida Sentaro, a colleague teacher, and married Koizumi Setsu, a daughter of a samurai. In 1891, he moved to Kumamoto and had taught at the Fifth High School for 3 years. Kano Jigoro, the president of the School of that time, is known as the man who spread judo to the world. In 1896, when he lived in Kobe after he worked as a journalist there, he got Japanese citizenship and a new name, Koizumi Yakumo. This name was taken from "Kojiki", a Japanese ancient myth. On that year, he moved to Tokyo and began to teach at the Imperial University of Tokyo. There he got respect of students and many of them made a remarkable literary career. In addition, he wrote much reports of Japan and published in America. His works was read by so many people as an introduction of Japan. He quit the Imperial University in 1903 and began to teach at Waseda University on the year next. But after only a half year he died of angina pectoris.

Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan (Paperback)
Published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform, 2015
ISBN 10: 1518805752 ISBN 13: 9781518805752
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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. I was sorry to lose the beautiful lake view, but I found it necessary to remove to the northern quarter of the city, into a very quiet Street behind the mouldering castle. My new home is a katchiu-yashiki, the ancient residence of some samurai of high rank. It is shut off from the street, or rather roadway, skirting the castle moat by a long, high wall coped with tiles. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.

Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan (Paperback)
Published by Tuttle Publishing, Boston, 2016
ISBN 10: 080484755X ISBN 13: 9780804847551
Language: English
Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Two volumes in one!This is a complete, two-volume set of one of the greatest books on 19th century Japanese history and culture.Though Lafcadio Hearn went on to write a dozen more books on Japan, this collection of first impressions remains his most popular. Among the reasons is that here, more than anywhere else, the author most vividly captured a place that so affected him that he stayed for the rest of his life. The modern reader can still, through these pages, experience that "first charm of Japan, intangible and volatile as a perfume." Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan combines two volumes of a work that first appeared in 1894. In the pages of this book are the customs, the superstitions, the charming scenery, the revelations of Japanese character, and all the other elements that Lafcadio Hearn found so bewitching. Here, for example, are essays on such subjects as the Japanese garden, the household shrine, the festivals, and the bewildering Japanese smile-all aspects of Japanese life that have endured in spite of the changes that have taken place during the modernization of Japan. The Japanese character and the Japanese tradition are still fundamentally the same as Hearn found them to be, and for this reason his writing is still extremely revealing to modern readers. This edition also contains a new foreword by noted writer and examiner of Japanese culture Donnie Richie that puts Lafcadio Hearn and his classic works into perspective for readers just discovering Hearn's writing for the first time. Two volumes in one! This is a complete, two-volume set of one of the greatest books on 19th century Japanese history and culture.
