Setsuko Koizumi (1868-1932) was the daughter of a Japanese samurai family in Matsué. In 1891 she married a foreigner - Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) - in a union that lasted 13 years and produced three children. Hearn adopted her family name, becoming Koizumi Yakumo ????,and spent those years in Japan writing and teaching while achieving international recognition and success. Setsuko's Reminiscences tells something of the couple's moves and travels, but focuses mostly on the character, habits, and eccenticities of her husband. The book is a heartfelt intimate portrait of a marriage that brought Lafcadio the home and family he had never before had. This book shares a charming story of domestic happiness, as told by his closest companion, collaborator, and interpreter of life and death in Meiji Japan.
