Description

The origin of Japanese folk tales, like our own, is shrouded in the mists of hundreds of years. Folk tales of every country are woven of the dreams and lives of the people in times gone by. In Japan, too, these stories are expressions of the joys and sorrows, fears and hopes of the common folk and have a shimmering quality of imagination. Welcome to the enchanting world of Japanese folk tales where mysterious maidens walk out of snow-blown nights, slippers are magic and you use good luck charms to keep mountain witches at bay.
