Patricio Lafcadio Tessima Carlos Hearn (1850-1904) was the son of a British father and Greek mother.

On the Akasaka Road, in Tokyo, there is a slope called Kii-no-kuni-zaka. Before the era of street-lamps and jinrikishas, this neighbourhood was very lonesome after dark; belated pedestrians would go miles out of their way rather than mount the Kii-no-kuni-zaka, alone, after sunset. All because of a Mujina that used to walk there....

One day a hunter came across a pair of mandarin duck, oshidori, swimming together in a river that he was about to cross. To kill oshidori is not good; but Sonjô happened to be very hungry, and he shot at the pair. His arrow pierced the male: the female escaped into the rushes of the farther shore, and disappeared.

In this wide-ranging collection our authors look at every facet and detail of theatre life. From the worries and lives of the actors to what can happen when a theatre is the prime location on which the story depends, be it comedy, theft, the bizarre and even murder.

¿Cómo es posible que en lugares tan distantes del mundo se hayan inventado historias tan similares? ¿Es el mismo cuento que viajó de tierra en tierra y fue cambiando en cada una? ¿O en tierras distantes, distintas personas inventaron historias semejantes?

Il folklore giapponese è ricco di creature spaventose: apparizioni inquietanti, demoni, creature metà animali e metà donne, mutaforma... Ma tutti questi esseri hanno una caratteristica in comune, radicata nella sensibilità del Giappone: non appartengono a una dimensione "altra", condividono il nostro stesso "spazio di realtà". Un elemento, questo, che Lafcadio Hearn riesce a trasmettere appieno, e non a caso le sue selezioni di racconti dal folklore nipponico sono considerate ancora oggi un ponte tra Occidente e Oriente.
