Japanese Folktales, Yei Theodora Ozaki


 Japanese Folktales, Classic Stories from Japan's Enchanted Past
Compiled by Yei Theodora Ozaki

If anyone knows me, they know I love learning about Japanese culture. So I was excited to come across this little paperback book of Japanese folktales. Some of these were already familiar to me, but most I had never heard of before. Many of them feature the Dragon King Rin Jin ruler of the sea, portraying him as both a genteel host as well as a powerful force to respect and fear.

I will be adding this to the Asian culture section of my personal library.

Would you like to buy me a book, or help keep my little free library stocked and maintained? You can donate here: paypal.me/AmyVanGaasbeck
