Kokoro: Hints and Echoes of Japanese Inner Life, was first published in 1896 at a time when Japan was largely unknown to the Western world. Kokoro (心) which translates as 'heart' in English offers the reader the first glimpses into pre-industrial and Meji era Japan.Today the works of LafcadioHearn aremostly forgotten in the West and are fading fromthememories of the Japanese, butHearn's work still offers valuable insight into Japan and its customs.
