Glimpses of an Unfamiliar Japan is a collection of essays written by Lafcadio Hearn, a writer who lived in Japan during the late 19th century. The book provides a fascinating look into Japanese culture, customs, and traditions from the perspective of a Westerner who was deeply intrigued by the country. Hearn's writing style is poetic and evocative, and he weaves together personal anecdotes, historical information, and observations about daily life in Japan to create a vivid portrait of the country. Some of the topics covered in the book include Japanese folklore, religion, architecture, and cuisine. Overall, Glimpses of an Unfamiliar Japan is a must-read for anyone interested in Japanese culture, as well as for those who appreciate beautiful writing and insightful observations about the world around us.There seems to be a sense of divine magic in the very atmosphere, through all the luminous day, brooding over the vapoury land, over the ghostly blue of the flood--a sense of Shinto. With my fancy full of the legends of the Kojiki, the rhythmic chant of the engines comes to my ears as the rhythm of a Shinto ritual mingled with the names of gods.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
