# Kottō : being Japanese curios, with sundry cobwebs

An audiobook by Lafcadio Hearn, read by LibriVox volunteers (4 h 20 min, English).

Kottō contains 20 Japanese stories, collected from different sources and translated by Lafcadio Hearn. The types of stories in this collection are widespread: There are old ghost stories Hearn is best known for (The Legend of Yurei-Daki), his own observations and musings (Pathological), as well as the translation of 'A Woman's Diary', a touching account of the life of the poorer classes in Tokyo, written at the end of the 19th century.
