About this listen

A goblin with no body and a monster with no face. A resourceful samurai and a faithful daughter. A spirit of the moon and a dragon king.

This collection of 15 traditional Japanese folktales transports listeners to a time of adventure and enchantment. Drawn from the works of folklorists Lafcadio Hearn and Yei Theodora Ozaki, these tales are by turns terrifying, exhilarating, and poetic.

  • Striking illustrations by contemporary Japanese artist Kotaro Chiba are included in the supplemental PDF.
  • Part of the popular Tales series, featuring Nordic Tales, Celtic Tales, Tales of India, and Tales of East Africa.

Fans of ghostly tales and Japanese notebooks will love this book.

This book is ideal for:

  • Fans of fairytales, folklore, ghost stories, Greek mythology, Roman mythology, Chinese mythology, and Celtic mythology.
  • Anyone interested in Japan's history books and culture studies.
  • People of Japanese heritage.

Produced and published by Echo Point Books & Media, an independent bookseller in Brattleboro, Vermont.
