    Extractions: THE JAPAN TIMES (Tokyo, Japan) September 17, 1988 Double-duty scholar Lafcadio Hearn a link between Japan, black America by John E. Philips (special to The Japan Times) On coming to Japan I found an old face in a new place. I had long known of Lafcadio Hearn, but his contribution to Japanese studies was something new to me. Here I found that he had applied his powers of sympathetic insight to another society far across the Pacific, but that his reception was different. Lafcadio Hearn is a familiar name in the field of Afro-American folklore. He was one of the first white scholars to take Afro-American studies seriously, and to search the folklore for something other than cute animal tales and patronizing dialect songs. White scholars who followed his lead found cause to praise him. J. L. Dillard in his famous work "Black English" lists him among white southern authors who were native speakers of that dialect, despite the fact that he was an immigrant from Europe. Black scholars also quote his collections, as Leroi Jones did in his work

    Extractions: (Lafcadio Hearn's untitled Preface) The floor of a Japanese room is covered with beautiful thick soft mats of woven reeds. They fit very closely together, so that you can just slip a knife-blade between them. They are changed once every year, and are kept very clean. The Japanese never wear shoes in the house, and do not use chairs or furniture such as English people use. They sit, sleep, eat, and sometimes even write upon the floor. So the mats must be kept very clean indeed, and Japanese children are taught, just as soon as they can speak, never to spoil or dirty the mats. You ask me whether all, all Japanese children are as good as that? Well - no, there are a few, a very few naughty ones. And what happens to the mats in the houses of these naughty children? Nothing very bad - because there are fairies who take care of the mats. These fairies tease and frighten children who dirty or spoil the mats. At least - they used to tease and frighten such mischievous children. I am not quite sure whether those little fairies still live in Japan, - because the new railways and the telegraph-poles have frightened a great many fairies away. But here is a little story about them: - Read the story!

71. Patrick Lafcadio Hearn
    Patrick lafcadio hearn was born in 1850 on the Greek island of Lefkas. His fatherwas Irish, his mother Greek. lafcadio hearn Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan.  
    http://www.cisl.ie/mars/rory/hearn.htm
    
    Extractions: The Irish have a long literary tradition and many Irish writers such as Yeats, Kavanagh and James Joyce are world famous. However there is one Irish writer who has gone un noticed by his fellow compatriots. Patrick Lafcadio Hearn was born in 1850 on the Greek island of Lefkas. His father was Irish, his mother Greek. Patrick’s father served in the British army and when his leave was up brought his family back to Dublin. However the relationship did not go well and Patrick’s parents were soon separated. Patrick ended up being reared by his aunt in Dublin and spent many summers in the west of Ireland, particularly County Mayo and sometimes even County Waterford, where as a young boy he learned much from the locals about folklore and the supernatural. It was there that Patrick developed like so many Irish a love of ghost stories. But Patrick in all seemed to have a lonely childhood. He was very small for his age (Even in adulthood he only grew to 5 foot 3 inches.) and had a very Mediterranean appearence, which set him aside from the other children. Also at the age of thirteen Patrick lost an eye in a school playground accident. After a short time in London and Paris Lafcadio (he had dropped Patrick from his name at this stage) at the age of nineteen went to America and eventually ended up in New Orleans as a journalist working for a local newspaper.

    http://www.modernhaiku.org/essays/hearnandhaiku.html
    
    Extractions: Cincinnati Enquirer in 1874, earning a reputation for writing about crimes featuring elements of gore and horror. All his life he was interested in the odd and grotesque and translated many ghost stories and tales of the unusual. He also coedited a literary magazine while in Cincinnati. . In 1884 he published Stray Leaves from Strange Literature , an anthology of tales from various lands, and in 1887 Some Chinese Ghosts . However, he is best known for his books about Japan, all of which he wrote after going there in 1890. Hearn was one of the first Westerners to read and appreciate haiku. Even in works he wrote before he went to Japan and discovered haiku one finds sections that reveal he already possessed, to some degree, the haiku spirit. His close awareness of nature and the world around him, combined with a love and facility for language, led him to write a number of descriptive passages that show the sensitive perceptions of a haiku poet. There are several in his first novel

    Extractions: Bostonian Percival Lowell traveled to Japan in the 1880s, producing the first serious studies of the country for the American public. His writing inspired Lafcadio Hearn to settle in Japan, ultimately to become the most popular American conduit of Japanese culture of his generation. Percival Lowell. The Soul of the Far East . Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1888. Lowell's book differed from earlier reports about the Japanese by treating his hosts as co-equals, not as an underdeveloped people. Its binding reflects Orientalism in book design. Percival Lowell. Occult Japan; or, The Way of the Gods; An Esoteric Study of Japanese Personality and Possession . Boston: Houghton, Mifflin and Company, 1895. Lowell's last book on Japan reflects his fascination with religious customs and shrines. Lafcadio Hearn. Kotto . . . Being Japanese Curios, with Sundry Cobwebs . New York: The Macmillan Company, 1902. After reading Lowell's The Soul of the Far East , Hearn not only moved to Japan but also married a Japanese, learned the language, and adopted Japanese dress. Appointed lecturer in English at the Imperial University at Tokyo, he published his reflections on Japanese life for an American audience. Quoted in Basil Chamberlain's widely popular
