Publisher's Synopsis
Lafcadio Hearn is a notable person in Japan now and yesteryear. In 1947 for a month I lived in "his Matsue" and also nearby Yonago. His tales of Fox are very relevant to this area with many shrines to foxes and in turn the many symbols for Fox from village folk. For a westerner his varied writings combine enthusiasim with accurate description of what must be the enigma of Japan. I enjoyed his writings, again, in an economical book
