Lafcadio Hearn arrived in Japan as a magazine correspondent, but the Land of the Rising Sun captivated him so much that he remained there for the rest of his life, finding permanent employment, marrying, and even changing his name to the local idiom, Yakumo Koizumi.

The collection "Fleeting Visions of Unknown Japan" includes essays and sketches written in the first few years after his arrival, exploring Japanese traditions, customs, beliefs, and myths. Hearn devoted many books to these topics, but it is "Fleeting Visions" that most vividly and accurately conveys the first emotions of a person arriving in the Land of the Rising Sun—those most powerful, yet "weightless and fleeting, like the scent of perfume." "Fleeting Visions of Unknown Japan" earned Hearn fame as an authoritative orientalist and for many years remained one of the primary sources of information about the distant eastern country.
