The Japan he was after was never in the temples. Hearn goes for the inner life of a country in the middle of violent modernisation: the conscript, the streetcar, the war with China, the old loyalties straining against a new state. Deeper and darker than his earlier books, and the one where he stops being charmed and starts understanding.
