Complete and unabridged, with 53 full-page plates by Utagawa Kunisada, Ogata Kōrin and Ogata Kenzan. Japanese ghost stories and reflections on incense, silkworms and Buddhist proverbs. Hearn wrote these in Tokyo as a Japanese citizen married to a samurai's daughter, and the essays between the tales are as strange as the tales. This edition adds a gallery of 53 plates by Kunisada, Hokusai, Hiroshige and Goshun, and seven restored and coloured illustrations.
