	Lafcadio Hearn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hearn was born in Lefkada (the origin of his middle name), one of the Greek Ionian Islands.
		Lafcadio Hearn moved to Dublin, Ireland at the age of 6.
		While Lafcadio Hearn is no longer well-known in the West, and is even falling out of common knowledge in Japan, he still has a small, fairly devoted fanbase, and his influence on Western knowledge of Japan (though most cannot put his name to it) cannot be denied.

	Lafcadio Hearn and Japanese Buddhism (Rexroth)
		Hearn was not a scholar, nor was he in the Western sense a religious believer.
		If Hearn entered Japanese culture and achieved understanding of Japanese Buddhist (and Shinto) thought with unprecedented rapidity for a Westerner, it is because his own spirit had always longed for an atmosphere in which his belief in the sentience and blessedness of all Nature could flourish.
		Hearn never became a Buddhist, and he remained skeptical about certain of Buddhism’s key doctrines — such as the relationship of karma and rebirth — but he passionately believed that Buddhism promoted a far better attitude toward daily life than did Christianity.

		Hearn, almost alone among contemporary writers, is the master, in these delicate, transparent, ghostly sketches of a world unreal to us, there is a haunting sense of spiritual reality.
		Hearn's magic is said to lie in the fact that in his art is found "the meeting of three ways." "To the religious instinct of India,--Buddhism in particular,--which history has engrafted on the æsthetic sense of Japan, Mr.
		Hearn brings the interpreting spirit of occidental science; and these three traditions are fused by the peculiar sympathies of his mind into one rich and novel compound,--a compound so rare as to have introduced into literature a psychological sensation unknown before." Mr.

	D9 Lafcadio Hearn, Japan, and English-Language Verse
		Hearn’s writing from Japan more than any other to this day has shaped Western perception of the country, taking on such a life in the early years of the century that it returned to Japan by way of the looking glass of the West and became determinative in shaping even Japanese perceptions of Japan.
		Likewise, Hearn along with Noguchi (see especially 15e6) may be credited with bringing free verse to the English translation of Japanese poetry, but it took Pound and Waley (26) to confirm the transformation and to carry its lessons to the mainstream of English-language verse, and no evidence exists that either looked to Hearn for guidance.
		George Gould, at one time a friend of Hearn, attempts to dismantle his reputation in Concerning Lafcadio Hearn (London: Unwin, 1908), arguing that Hearn was ‘deprived by nature, by the necessities of his life, or by conscious intention, of religion, morality, scholarship, magnanimity, loyalty, character, benevolence, and other constituents of personal greatness’.

	MH Essay—Lafcadio Hearn and Haiku
		Lafcadio Hearn was born on the Greek island of Santa Maura, originally called Leucadia, in 1850, to an Irish surgeon in the British army and a woman of Maltese ancestry.
		The ways Hearn arranged the originals of the haiku and his translations on the page are important for they were to have an effect on subsequent translators and, ultimately, though indirectly, on the way poets writing in English would arrange the lines of their haiku.
		Hearn feels he has to add to the original to make sure his readers realize the contrast, already suggested, between the loudness of the cicadas and the refreshing stillness of their silence, implied in the Japanese by the word “coolness.” The stillness lets us hear the sound of the breeze in the pines.
