Japan: An Attempt at Interpretation
by Lafcadio Hearn

Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NRwOAN7lOg

Japan: An Attempt at Interpretation | Lafcadio Hearn | *Non-fiction, History, Religion | Audiobook full unabridged | English | 1/3
Content of the video and Sections beginning time (clickable) - Chapters of the audiobook: please see First comments under this video.
Greece-born Lafcadio Hearn (1850 - 1904) spent decades of his life in Japan, even marrying a Japanese woman, thus becoming a Japanese citizen by the name of Koizumi Yakumo (小泉 八雲). He wrote many books on Japan, especially about its folklore. In this posthumously published book, he takes a closer look at Japan's religious history: How it developed from ancient beliefs into Shintoism, resisted suppression attempts by both Buddhism and Christianity and how – despite efforts to westernise Japan during the era known as Meiji Restoration – it remained the basis for Japanese society. Even today, over 100 years after this book was written, some of the described traditions and fundamental ideas still exist. (Summary by Julia Niedermaier)
