Two hardback volumes with dust jackets now protected in removable covers. Most books written about Japan have been superficial sketches of a passing traveller. Of the inner life of the Japanese at the turn of the twentieth century we knew practically nothing. Lafcadio Hearn reveals something of the people and their customs as they were. These are wonderful sketches by an acute observer and a master of English prose of a Nation in transition- of the lingering remains of Old Japan, today only a memory, of its gardens, its beliefs, customs, gods and devils, of its wonderful kindness and charm-and of the New Japan, struggling against odds towards new ideals. Collector's Items.
