Fukui Maru. (Commander Hirose was the idol- ized hero of Port Arthur, and the Fukui Maru was the steamer sunk by him to block- ade the harbor channel of Port Arthur. ) On that very day Hearn sang unexpectedly about Commander Hirose, so I thought it a coincidence and kept the song in the case. He was interested in "Hokku" 60 LAFCADIO HEARN (poems of short stanzas) and remembered many of them. He put tunes to these poems, and sang them while talking in the corri- dor. Sometimes he himself compose...d, and attributed his compositions to Basho 1 by way of jest. We had an opportunity to see wres- tling-matches in Matsue. Tani-no-oto, the ozeki (champion) was there. Hearn thought that Japanese wrestling was more interest- ing than the Western form of the sport. He often recalled the name of the cham- pion, and used the name Tani-no-oto to describe anything fat. Hearn told me that he used to go to the theater every day while he was working as a newspaper reporter in America. He knew all the famous actors and had asso- ciated with them as a friend; he had also frequented the dressing-rooms and studied the theaters.
