Lafcadio Hearn: Kokoro: Japanese Inner Life Hints
(1895)
A study of Japanese ways of thinking.
Author’s Note:
The papers composing this volume treat of the inner rather than of the outer life of Japan,--for which reason they have been grouped under the title Kokoro (‘heart’). Written with the above character, this word signifies also mind, in the emotional sense; spirit; courage; resolve; sentiment; affection; and inner meaning,--just as we say in English, “the heart of things.”
From PG. Proofread, spellchecked, TOC added and 65 footnotes hyperlinked.
