Yakumo Koizumi
Lafcadio Hearn, who later became a Japanese citizen under the name Yakumo Koizumi, is still a very popular writer in Japan. His stories based on Japanese legends and ghost tales were some of my favorite books when I was a child, and many Japanese people feel the same.
Hearn was originally from Ireland and came to Japan after working as a journalist in the United States.
This year, NHK made a TV drama about his life, and the series made many of us appreciate again how important his work was in bringing Japanese culture to the world.
I think his works are excellent studies of Japanese folklore, and it is remarkable that he achieved this even though he was not raised in Japanese society. Perhaps there is also a certain similarity in the atmosphere of Irish fairy‑tale culture and that of Japan.
His childhood was marked by many poignant moments — abandonment, illness in the family, and even the loss of sight in one eye.
Despite these hardships, I believe he found real happiness in Japan. He married a Japanese woman, raised four children, and built a peaceful life far from the difficulties of his early years.

"Ghost tales" isn't wrong, but we usually call them "ghost stories".
