Japanese Tales
Japanese Tales | Royall Tyler
10 posts | 4 read | 7 to read
Here are two hundred and twenty dazzling tales from medieval Japan, tales that welcome us into a fabulous, faraway world populated by saints and scoundrels, ghosts and magical healers, and a vast assortment of deities and demons. Stories of miracles, visions of hell, jokes, fables, and legends, these tales reflect the Japanese worldview during a classic period in Japanese civilization. Masterfully edited and translated by the acclaimed translator of The Tale of Genji, these stories ably balance the lyrical and the dramatic, the ribald and the profound, offering a window into a long-vanished though perennially fascinating culture. Part of the Pantheon Fairy Tale and Folklore Library From the Trade Paperback edition.

My husband and I went to a Japanese festival yesterday and got a couple of old books for $4. The top one is in pretty bad shape,but we thought we could use it for crafting purposes. The bottom one will just look beautiful.

I really enjoyed this book. It's beautifully rich w/ folklore from the 8th to 12th centuries & covers a wide area of subjects such as Buddhism, Shinto, relationships, death, & spirits (to name a few). Also, there are many folktales that provide life lessons in ethics, morality, honesty, & compassion. Some stories are strange, but most are funny, enlightening, & fascinating! Great study of historical #Japanese culture & beliefs of the era! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
