Kokoro Hints and Echoes of Japanese Inner Life by Lafcadio Hearn

This collection of 15 essays dealing with the inner life of Japan was originally published in 1896 and contains some of the most heart-warming tales and incidents Hearn encountered during his years in Japan. Kokoro means ‘heart’, but also signifies ‘mind’ in a spiritual and emotional sense: spirit, courage, resolve, sentiment, and inner meaning - just as does ‘the heart of things’ in English.
