In The Annotated Out of the East by Lafcadio Hearn, the former bohemian author and now family man has taken up a new teaching position and has left the comforts of the City of Matsue in Shimane Prefecture; a place he found to be far more severe and less good-natured, famous (or perhaps infamous) for its "Kyushu spirit" and its "Kyushu tone." Yet, even in an environment he regarded as dissatisfactory, he was able to find that the reserved young men he taught were capable of wonderful, even beautiful thoughts, which he takes the time to share with us.

The 15 classic essays collected in Kokoro examine the inner spiritual life of Japan. The title itself can be translated as "heart," "spirit" or "inner meaning," and that's exactly what this collection teaches us about Japan.

"Kimiko" paints the portrait of a beautiful geisha; "By Force of Karma" tells the story of a Buddhist monk; and in "A Conservative," we come to know the thoughts and actions of a Samurai.
