Lafcadio Hearn's Former Residence in Matsue, Japan, is a charming historical site dedicated to the legacy of the renowned writer and journalist who became one of the most famous Western interpreters of Japanese culture. Built in the late 19th century, the residence is a traditional Japanese house featuring tatami rooms, sliding shoji doors, and a serene garden that exemplifies the aesthetic principles of Japanese design. Hearn lived in this house for about a year, during which he gathered the inspiration and material for much of his subsequent writing on Japan.
