A Treasury of Japanese Folktales: Bilingual English and Japanese Edition Hardcover - 2010

by Yuri Yasuda; Yumi Matsunari (Translator); Yumi Yamaguchi (Translator)


Summary

A Treasury of Japanese Folktales, presented in both English and Japanese, contains 12 of the best Japanese folk and fairy tales, told to generation after generation of Japanese children. These charming tales of rich imagination carry us, on turtle-back, to the splendors of the underwater palace of the dragon princess, to the beautiful hills where Kintaro plays with his animal friends, and to a temple where we discover a "tea kettle" that is really a cunning badger in disguise.

Executed with great skill and imagination, the 98 color illustrations bring to life the charming characters of these heart-warming tales of old Japan.

Yuri Yasuda was born in Tokyo and is a graduate of the English Department, International School of the Sacred Heart, Tokyo. Since childhood she has written stories for her own amusement, and she began to tell folk and fairy tales to her children as soon as they were able to understand the words.

Media reviews

"The stories and illustrations in this oversize volume were originally published in Old Tales of Japan (1953). A new Japanese translation accompanies this version. […] Many of the illustrations stand the test of time, as the folktales are old stories of Japan, and maintain their charm, as does the text."—School Library Journal
