This statue is just in front of The International Library of Children's Literature.
This is built by a poet Doï "Bansuï" Rinkichi, who learned from Hearn at the Imperial University of Tokyo, to fulfill the will of his son Eiïchi, who had respected Hearn very much with influence of his father.
On the front side of its pedestal is embedded the relief of Lafcadio Hearn, and other sides are engraved Chinese verses by Bansuï:
Letters lead the humanity to its grace
Pen makes this state come into bloom
