		Yakumo's "Kwaidan" is so appealing because these stories are not merely meant to be frightening.
		Yakumo is said to have struggled diligently, with the help of his wife Setsuko, to make these stories truly his own.
		After he left Matsue, he continued writing while holding teaching positions at Kumamoto, Kobe and finally, in Tokyo, while his writing was published in the U.S. He married a Japanese woman, Setsuko Koizumi, and they had several children after which he became a Japanese national, changing his name from Lafcadio Hearn to Yakumo Koizumi.

	Kwaidan - Criterion Collection \| Masterful work! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		A masterpiece of filmmaking artifice and mood-setting atmosphere, Kwaidan consists of four ghost stories adapted from the fiction of Greek-born Lafcadio Hearn (a.k.a.
		Yakumo Koizumi, 1850-1904), who assimilated into Japanese culture so thoroughly that his writings reveal no evidence of Western influence.
		So it is that these four cinematic interpretations--perhaps more accurately described as tales of spectral visitation--are sublimely Japanese in tone and texture, created entirely in a studio with frequently stunning results.
