Patrick Lafcadio Hearn compiled this collection of Japanese legends and ghost stories into a book in 1904, which was later adapted to a movie by Masaki Kobayashi in 1965. I both read the original and seen the movie when I was younger as Hearn a.k.a Koizumi Yakumo's work was very popular in Hawaii. This piece influenced my presentation format of some Venetian ghost stories I encountered while I was away in Venice for the IQP. I also have a work on mosquitoes in progress that if I use will engage his encounter with mosquitoes in a buddhist graveyard for ideas.
