Hokuseido Books

One cannot study Hearn without coming across the occasionally rare book by the Hokuseido Press. A publisher out of Tokyo, this book producer gives Hearnology some of the best resources available to study from, however, most of their books are not scanned via Google Books... ect. Perhaps it has to do with copyrights or an amount of international respect for property? Anyway, here is a list of the Hearn-related books I could find by this publisher which didn't bat an eyelash in regard to the coming and going of WW2:
