	The Mountain Witch RPG: Reviews & Actual Play (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Much like the Brothers Grimm, Lafcadio Hearn is known in Japan for collecting and compiling various Japanese folk, fairy, and ghost stories.
		Though born on the greek island of Lefkas, Hearn---who is also known as Koizumi Yakuma---later immigrated to Japan, even taking Japanese citizenship and marrying a Japanese wife.
		The goal of this project is to illustrate and describe some 200 creatures from Japanese folklore, though at the time of this writing there's only 50.

	Stupa
		Since its beginnings in India, Buddhism has spread over an area extending from the deserts of Central Asia in the west to the islands of Japan in the east, and from the icy regions of Tibet in the north to the sun-drenched tropical island of Sri Lanka in the south.
		This is the metaphysical counterpart of the historical view that the stupa evolved out of the ancient funerary mound.
		In this context the stupa is often referred to as the 'chaitya,' a word which is derived from the Sanskrit word for funeral pyre 'chita.'

	Lafcadio Hearn
		Having achieved some success with his literary translations and other works, he was hired by Harper Publishing Co. He was in the West Indies on assignment from Harper from 1887-89, and wrote two novels on that period.
		In 1889 he decided to go to Japan, and upon his arrival in Yokohama in the spring of 1890, was befriended by Basil Hall Chamberlain of Tokyo Imperial University, and officials at the Ministry of Education.
		NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) filmed a travel sketch on Hearn in Dublin and other places, and broadcasted the programme in 2000.

	markertext.com : Chris Marker : Coréenes
		The upstanding officer was not obliged to know that the Koreans had invented the armored battleship in the sixteenth century, nor that their “turtle-boats” with 72 batteries on a side had routed the Japanese fleet in 1552.
		These people of “careless education” so greatly contributed to the education of their easterly neighbor that other visitors, discovering Korean art after that of Japan, came to turn the reflection around backwards, like the collector who saw a touch of Picasso in certain African masks.
		The Far East lines are guarded by young women: Olga in Omsk, a shepherdess of Tupolev-Macha in Chita, leading the twin-engines out to pasture in the violet dawn of Mongolia.
