Lafcadio Hearn, Greek-Irish Poet
Two Ghost stories and a Story of the Underworld
In 1904, while Japan prepared for war with Russia, the Greek-Irish writer Lafcadio Hearn was living in Tokyo in semi-retirement due to his illness. While there, he put together one of his last books, a well-known collection of Japanese tales called Kwaidan. These were not stories Hearn wrote himself, but the ones he collected while he lived in Japan. Some were from old books and some were told to him by Japanese storytellers. The Kwaidan book presented many tales that draw on the Japanese fascination with ghosts and mystery, subjects that Hearn also found deeply interesting.
