We think Hearn's wife's dialect added a wa sound after certain sounds, but it seems most Japanese pronounce the book as kaidan which is the modern, standard pronunciation of 怪談. One neat side-effect of adding the W sound, however, is it sounds similar to kowai (scary). Since 怪談 kaidan means ghost stories or horror stories , I'll go with that. • This is the second story from the book. Oshidori. • Here are two notes found in the original English edition: • Notes from the English edition: • 1) From ancient time, in the Far East, these birds have been regarded as emblems of conjugal affection. • 2) There is a pathetic double meaning in the third verse; for the syllables composing the proper name Akanuma ( Red Marsh ) may also be read as akanu-ma, signifying the time of our inseparable (or delightful) relation. So the poem can also be thus rendered: When the day began to fail, I had invited him to accompany me. . . . ! Now, after the time of that happy relation, what misery for the one who must slumber alone in the shadow of the rushes ! The makomo is a sort of large rush, used for making baskets. • Support us and get our Makoto e-zine at https://www.MakotoPlus.com or become a Patreon supporter at / thejapanesepage (Both methods are the same price and have the same benefits) • Enjoyed this video?
