This 1898 collection is split into two parts: The first, "Exotics," consists of Hearn's Japanese journalism; the second, "Retrospectives," contains his personal essays and reflections. Standouts are "Fuji no Yama," recounting the author's grueling ascent of Mt. Fuji, and "Insect Musicians," relating the now-vanished market in music-making insects.
