Amazon.com description: Product Description: Hearn is best known for his stories about Japan, especially his ghost stories and legends. The word kwaidan is Japanese for ghost story. The first section of this book includes ghost stories told to Hearn by the people of Japan. The second section lists three insects and the superstitions surrounding them. The butterfly is the personification of the human soul. Mosquitoes are the reincarnation of greedy and jealous people. Ants are superior to man in their chastity, ethics, social structure, longevity, and evolution.
