Brings together a magnificent selection of stories from all parts of the Land of the Rising Sun. Drawing on a richly imaginative folk tradition, & set against the backdrop of Japans mythic past, the tales are suffused with the essence of this magical land. Combining the exoticism of the Orient with a touch of the macabre, these are tales in which fantasy can unexpectedly shade into supernatural terror. The imaginative art of the Japanese fairy tale is amply celebrated in this beautifully illustrated edition. All readers with a fascination of folklore & of fantastic tales need look no further than this excellent edition.
