We are very proud to support this event, 'Lafcadio Hearn's Japan: from Enchantment to Intercultural Understanding', hosted by Trinity College Dublin's Centre for Asian Studies.

This is a one-day academic workshop honouring the life and works of Hearn, recognising him as a person dedicated to understanding across cultures, ambitious in his rejection of bigotry, and sensitive to Japanese life and ethics despite their contrast to the West.

Speakers include prominent scholars, diplomats, and politicians from Ireland, Japan, Britain and the USA, including Professor Bon Koizumi, descendent of Lafcadio Hearn.

This event is free to attend, but registration is essential.
