A fascinating programme about Lafcadio Hearn's love of insects and the Japanese vocabulary related to them. My family and I were lucky enough to guided around the wonderful "The Poetry of Insects" exhibition at the Lafcadio Memorial Museum in Matsue by Bon Koizumi, great-grandson of Lafcadio Hearn, and his wife Shoko when we visited Matsue last year.

I wandered into the Wikipedia article on Hearn and started reading his biography. I had no idea what I was in for. It is quite a ride! If you don't already know the story of Hearn's life, I highly recommend reading it so you can experience the inexorably widening eyes and dropping jaw for yourself.

del Toro mentioned that Kwaidan was adapted from a book of Japanese ghost stories (and insect studies!?!) written by Lafcadio Hearn, a writer of Greek and British descent. Hearn eventually moved to Japan and wrote some of the first accounts in English of Japanese culture.

Latest read, The Dream of a Summer Day (1895) by Lafcadio Hearn from Japanese Ghost Stories; a fisherman is trapped 400 years in the future, a woodcutter's wife drinks to much from the fountain of youth and becomes a helpless babe. Interlinked tales of husbands & wives magically separated by time.
Poetic, lovely.

I've been reading book on and need to talk to someone to clarify something. Does anyone know how to contact him or is anyone a specialist on Hearn?

> There are many beautiful things in Japan,” he told his wife. “Why do they imitate Western things?” The answer, as he well knew, was in order not to be invaded, exploited or treated as “backward.”
> ... the last section, entitled Industrial Danger, contains a clear-eyed warning of the risks of Japan’s headlong rush to modernize.
