Japanese Folk Tales
A collection of Japanese tales and legends in one book. These are narratives about various wonders — kind and frightening, funny and sad, cunning and instructive, always striking with their originality and emotional depth. In them, readers, both big and...
small, will meet mischievous forest spirits — tengu and water-dwellers — kappa, beautiful bird-maidens and snake-women, treacherous shapeshifters — foxes and badgers, and the cheerful joker Hikoichi.
Captivating ancient legends, which have entered the world treasury of tales, are gathered and translated by the renowned philologist and Japanologist V.N. Markova, whose translations have been awarded in the Land of the Rising Sun.
The book contains an insert with illustrations, an introductory article, and detailed comments.
