I really enjoyed this video and the accompanying music matched it beautifully. Thank you for making it! What is the origin of the artists of this music? It sounds like it has a combination of Irish and Japanese influence.

Great short film, thank you for sharing

The first weaboo, lol

Great vid. I showed it to my university students in Kobe, as we were talking about Hearn.

Lafcadio Hearn, the most interesting man …

Thanks for this. Great vid. Discovered Hearn a year ago. I wish he wrote even more on Japan and other places.

I didn't realize Hearn was so connected to Ireland. I knew of him as a child of Greek and British parents. Nice to understand more about his life. I think Glimpses of An Unfamiliar Japan has some of the best descriptive writing in literature. Reading this book made me sense his deep passion for the Japanese and the Japanese culture.

Superb. Much harder to create a good short film than a long one. Thank you so much.

A fantastic and often overlooked connection between Japan and Ireland. One of my favourite authors. Go raibh mile!

Very well made video, Tony. Good idea to show his old haunts in Japan. I hadn't realised he formally adopted Buddhism. A fascinating figure.

This was actually recorded in a small punk club in one of the dodgier suberbs of Minsk in Belarus which is why the band look so edgy,,, there was a fight going on at the bar
