Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Willi Fels travelled a great deal, visiting Europe many times. He also travelled to Japan, and secured a number of artifacts that are now housed in the Otago Museum. Special Collections has a number of works by the Greek-born, American journalist turned Japanophile, Patrick Lafcadio Hearn (1850-1904) that were once owned by Fels. Hearn readily adopted Japanese culture, and on marrying a Samurai’s daughter, he became known as Koizumi Yakumo. Hearn wrote extensively about Japan, with <em>Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan</em> (1894) his first on his adopted country. Perhaps Fels, the connoisseur collector, met Hearn while in Tokyo.
