About This Item
Rutland, VT: Charles E. Tuttle Co, 1962. Soft cover. Very Good. Noguchi, Yoshie. Clean, tight, unmarked; crease to upper front corner; slight wear to lower back corner at spine; dot stain on upper edge; otherwise very minimal wear; appears unread; Folk Legends of Japan contains of over one hundred Japanese folk legends. These have been selected by a distinguished American folklorist, drawn from expert Japanese transcriptions of oral legends, and carefully translated in such a way as to bring out the charming, unadorned, and sometimes disarmingly frank folk quality of the originals. Anyone who loves a genuine old wives' tales, who savors firelit evenings of listening to the folk stories will find much pleasure in these Japanese stories. At the same time the folklorist will find a mine of information, and the Japanophile will discover the folk basis for many of the beliefs and customs that may have puzzled him in the past.
