Beschreibung

Kokoro: Hints and Echoes of Japanese Inner Life gathers Lafcadio Hearn's essays and sketches on Meiji Japan, pursuing kokoro as heart, mind, feeling, and moral consciousness. From household customs, Buddhist consolation, and folk belief to street scenes and the shocks of modernization, Hearn blends travel writing, ethnography, memoir, and prose poetry. The style is musical, intimate, and sensuous, yet governed by comparative literary intelligence; the book stands within the fin-de-siècle Western encounter with a Japan rapidly remaking itself. Hearn's perspective was formed by displacement and adoption. Born on Lefkada, raised between Greek, Irish, British, and American worlds, and trained as a journalist, he came to Japan in 1890 unusually alert to marginal voices and vanishing traditions. His marriage into a Japanese family, teaching career, and naturalization as Koizumi Yakumo brought daily intimacy with the language of custom, memory, and oral tale. Readers seeking a lucid introduction to Japanese inwardness, or to the possibilities and limits of cross-cultural interpretation, will find Kokoro rewarding. Though inevitably marked by its era, it remains humane, observant, and haunting: a work for students of Japan, comparative literature, religious feeling, and anyone interested in how cultures imagine the inner life.
