Synopsis: This is a Japanese Folktale, written sometime the 9th or 10th centuries, although the exact date and author are not known. It was a very popular tale, with many antique scrolls and books, gorgeously illustrated, that retell the tale.Review: As the tale is the ancient tale, there is not way to actually judge the story. So this review regards this edition of the story. Hardback, with a gorgeous cover decorated with a motif from a famous Japanese version. Included are some lovely illustrations, done in the traditional Japanese style. This is an excellent edition for a child to read, and a welcome edition to my own folktale collection.
