Japanese Lyrics

Translated by LAFCADIO HEARN

The jewel-like translations of Japanese lyrics that are scattered through Hearn’s work, with the Japanese originals, have here been gathered into a volume of striking and exotic beauty. While these lyrics are not the work of contemporary poets, their impressionism is akin to that of the Imagists and their inclusion gives perspective and balance to the series. 75 cents net.
