He arrived as a journalist and stayed until he was Japanese by law. Hearn's first Japanese book goes into the shrines, the household gods, the festivals and the small towns of a country only just opened, listening rather than explaining. The book that taught the West that Japan had an interior life, by the outsider who got nearest to it.
