内容説明・目次

内容説明

From one of Japan's most popular and respected storytellers, this collection introduces readers to more than 40 wonderous tales from rural Japan—many that have not previously been seen or heard—from animal tales and tales of supernatural beings to stories about village characters and priests and their apprentices. It's a fascinating assortment that will delight young listeners, intrigue older readers, and offer scholars new insights. Background on the country and Japanese culture, notes on the tales, a glossary, recipes, games and crafts, and color photos and illustrations enhance the collection. All levels. As in many countries, storytelling is a revered art in Japan, and traditional tales have been carefully preserved for centuries. Yet only a small portion of Japan's tales has been shared with English-speaking audiences. From one of Japan's most popular and respected storytellers, this collection introduces readers to more than 40 wondrous tales from rural Japan—stories that have not previously been seen or heard—from animal tales and tales of supernatural beings to stories about village characters and priests and their apprentices.
