Tales from another land (from me),
By Jeffry J. Brickley (Las Cruces, NM United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ancient Tales and Folklore of Japan (Hardcover)
This book offers you an interesting look into the stories that are told around the land. These stories come from various regions and the author is nice enough to give credit to each and every storyteller that gives him these stories. I cannot verify how much truth is any of the folklore, but it doesn't really matter each are satisfying in their own way. The color illustrations are marvelous and done by oriental artists, not western artists. Each color plate gives the feeling of a painting making the story feel like both painting and story have been around a long time. I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Japan or would like a slightly different look into the history of Japan. Note this may not be historically accurate, but in my opinion, the stories that are handed down tell as much about the culture as the history itself.
