    Family tree of Lafcadio Hearn's Family. At the "Hearn and Family" exhibition

    In this year, the 110th anniversary of Hearn’s death, an international symposium and commemorative event will be held in July in Lefkada, Greece, the place of his birth. This event will attempt an interpretation of Hearn’s “Open Mind” and explore ways to connect Hearn’s legacy with the future. Since 2009, Hearn has been reevaluated from a range of perspectives, and attempts are being made to apply these newfound ideas and values in a practical way. This is changing people’s awareness of Hearn, not only in Japan, but also across the world. It is hoped that this exhibition “Hearn and Family” will bring a fresh perspective to Lafcadio Hearn.

    Background

    Born in Greece and raised in Ireland, Lafcadio Hearn travelled halfway around the world before arriving in Japan, where he settled and started a family. He died, as a Japanese national, at the age of fifty-four. Using stories passed down through the generations, this exhibition offers glimpses into Hearn’s life and the lives of his beloved wife and children.

    Lafcadio Hearn passed away quietly on 26 September, 1904. He was fifty-four. He died at his home in Nishi-Okubo, Tokyo, where he was being cared for by his family.
