WELCOMETO GLIMPSES OF UNFAMILIAR JAPAN

   WELCOME TO GLIMPSES OF UNFAMILIAR JAPAN



Lafcadio Hearn began writing about Japan in 1890 with what would become his first volume Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan. Well over one hundred years later, Japan is still unfamiliar to many people around the world - mysterious and enigmatic. Our objective here in this blog is to continue his work, of describing, explaining, interpreting Japan, both Old Japan and New Japan, its people its stories and legends, its history and culture through essays, stories, and short written sketches as well as art and photographs, by Hearn, Basil Hall Chamberlain, Aoi Tokugawa, myself, and others. We hope you enjoy this presentation and come to know and love Japan as Lafcadio Hearn did and we do.
