Gleanings In Buddha-Fields: Studies Of Hand And Soul In The Far East is a collection of essays and observations by Lafcadio Hearn, an Irish-Greek journalist and writer who lived and worked in Japan during the late 19th century. The book is divided into two parts: Kokoro (heart) and Tenchi (heaven and earth). In the first part, Hearn explores the spiritual and cultural aspects of Japan, including its religion, art, literature, and customs. He delves into the concept of kokoro and how it is expressed in Japanese society, as well as the role of Buddhism and Shintoism in shaping the country's culture. In the second part, Hearn focuses on the physical landscape of Japan, describing its mountains, rivers, and gardens, and the way they are intertwined with the country's history and mythology. Throughout the book, Hearn's writing is poetic and evocative, drawing readers into the world he observed and experienced. Gleanings In Buddha-Fields is a captivating exploration of Japan's unique blend of spirituality, nature, and artistry, as seen through the eyes of a skilled observer and storyteller.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
