In oktober 1921 reisde Louis Couperus met zijn vrouw voor een jaar als \u2018speciaal correspondent\u2019 van het weekblad de Haagsche Post door Nederlands-Indi\u00eb en Japan. De resulterende reisbrieven werden na Couperus\u2019 dood in twee bundels uitgegeven: Oostwaarts (1923) en Nippon (1925). In de winter van 1922\/23 schreef Couperus bovendien een reeks verhalen onder de titel Het snoer der ontferming en Japansche legenden (1924). Hiervoor liet hij zich onder andere inspireren door prenten van beroemde Japanse schilders als Utamaro, Hiroshige, Motonobu en Hokusai.<\/p>\n
