Mi libro de relatos de 2025: “Kwaidan” de Lafcadio Hearn. Tocaba reimpresión de los cuentos de terror del folclore japonés que adaptó este gran griego enamorado de Japón. Terror bellísimo y lírico y reinterpretado por un occidental con un pie en oriente. @valdemar.com 👻 #LafcadioHearn #Kwaidan

Satori 2025...

¿Pueden el amor y la pasión trascender la muerte?
❤️💔❤️💔❤️

Lafcadio Hearn, uno de los mayores conocedores occidentales de Japón, adapta en Un karma pasional la famosa pieza de kabuki Botan Dōrō, «La Linterna de Peonía».
