About This Novel
This book contains a total of 23 unique short essays by Koizumi Yakumo, which talk about Japanese customs, legends of ghosts and gods, and even mysterious beliefs and many other aspects. This book exclusively includes "The Peony Lantern", one of Japan's three most bizarre tales rewritten by Yakumo Koizumi, describing the love between humans and ghosts that spans life and death; the selected article "Furisode" is based on the legend of the Great Fire of Meiretsu, describing the image of a wealthy businessman's daughter who fell in love at first sight with an unknown guard and never forgot him, and eventually died of lovesickness, and the story of the burning of her furisode, which led to the destruction of the city of Edo. The author Koizumi Yakumo goes deep into the core of Japanese culture, observes Japan from a Western perspective, and compares the East and West, showing us a three-dimensional and multi-dimensional Japan in all aspects. Koizumi Yakumo, a Westerner with a Japanese name, is the only great writer who has been unanimously praised by Lu Xun and Hu Shi. He has profoundly influenced the creations of Kyogoku Natsuhiko, Mizuki Shigeru and others. Twenty-three representative works have been selected and published for the first time in China.
