Pellegrinaggi giapponesi. Kamakura, Enoshima, Izumo e il monte Fuji

Questo volume raccoglie tre preziosi inediti di Lafcadio Hearn, databili tra il 1890 e il 1897, in cui il grande scrittore descrive con il suo inconfondibile stile, intrecciando impressioni e riflessioni personali ad aneddoti e leggende attinte dal folclore locale, le visite ad alcuni dei luoghi di pellegrinaggio buddhisti e shintoisti più celebri di tutto il Giappone. Kamakura, con il suo Daibutsu e i suoi magnifici templi, l'sola sacra di Enoshima dedicata a Benten, il grande santuario di Izumo le cui origini si perdono nell'Età degli Dèi, e la scalata al monte Fuji, meta obbligata del pellegrino giapponese di qualsiasi fede: una serie di esperienze indimenticabili lungo itinerari tutt'oggi percorsi da migliaia di fedeli e viaggiatori. Lafcadio Hearn compie un'immersione nel cuore del Giappone tradizionale in cui la spiritualità - così viva da ricordare i tempi dell'antica Grecia, quando gli uomini convivevano letteralmente con gli dèi - si intreccia in modo inestricabile con la bellezza della natura e la profondità della cultura
