    About this ebook

    This 1897 collection focuses on Hearn's perceptions of his newly adopted country of Japan through the lens of Buddhism. His beautiful musings on the juxtaposition between a children’s playground and death vivify the Buddhist idea of dying.  His reminiscence on a trip to Kyoto places the reader there, and his meditation on Nirvana is amazingly clear.
