Japan and the Japanese by Lafcadio Hearn, & T. Ochiai (compiler) - 1928

ICG Muse, Inc. First ICG Muse edition, 2001. Softcover (11 x 18 cm), 331 pages. Good condition. Bumped, creased. "The fifteen essays composing this volume treat of the inner rather than of the outer life of Japan, for which reason they have been grouped under the title 'Kokoro' (heart). The word 'kokoro' signifies also mind (in the emotional sense), spirit, courage, resolve, sentiment, affection, and inner meaning - just as "the heart of things" in English.
