Lafcadio Hearn

After settling in Japan following a turbulent early life, Lafcadio Hearn embarked on a career devoted to—and extolling the virtues of—the country’s ancient and fascinating culture. 

Credited with bringing Japan into clearer focus for Europeans, his work often explored folklore and local legend. 

Hearn rendered timeless fables modern, accessible and eminently readable, securing his place in the canon of 19th-century literature.
