He is best remembered for his books about Japanese culture, especially collections of legends and ghost folklore. In the U.S., he is also known for his writings about New Orleans, baed on his decade-long stay there. In the 19th century, Japan was still largely unknown and exotic to Westerners. He offered the West some of its first descriptions of pre-industrial and Meiji Era Japan, his work is generally regarded as having historical value. COLL1905ABCA-variant
