The 15 classic essays collected in Kokoro examine the inner spiritual life of Japan. The title itself can be translated as heart, spirit or inner meaning, & that`s exactly what this collection teaches us about Japan. Sometimes touching & always compelling, the writings here tell the stories of the people & social codes that make Japan the unique place it is. Kimiko paints the portrait of a beautiful geisha; By Force of Karma tells the story of a Buddhist monk; & in A Conservative, we come to know the thoughts & actions of a Samurai. As an early interpreter of Japan to the West, Lafcadio Hearn was without parallel in his time. His numerous books about that country were read with a fascination that was a tribute to his keen powers of observation & the vividness of his descriptions. Today, even though Japan has changed greatly from what it was when he wrote about it, his writing is still valid, for it captures the essence of the country an essence that has actually changed a good deal less than outward appearances might suggest. In a word, the Japanese character & the Japanese tradition are still fundamentally the same as Hearn found them to be, & for this reason his books are still extremely revealing to readers in the West. ...
