Long, long ago in Japan there lived an old man and his wife. The old man was a good, kind-hearted, hard-working old fellow … First published in 1903, Japanese Fairy Tales is a classic compendium of Japanese folklore. From the stirring opening tale of ‘My Lord Bag of Rice’, where a ferocious warrior faces a mythical beast, to moving fables of compassion like ‘The Tongue-Cut Sparrow’, the twenty-two collected stories present a glorious patchwork of Japan’s rich folkloric tradition. Representing the West’s first commercial introduction to the storytelling tradition of Japan, these tales are as brilliantly entertaining – and important – now as they were at the beginning of the last century, and are presented here in a handsome new edition for a new generation.

Japanese Fairy Tales COMPILED BY Yei Theodora Ozaki. This collection of Japanese fairy tales is the outcome of a suggestion made to me indirectly through a friend by Mr. Andrew Lang. They have been translated from the modern version written by Sadanami Sanjin. These stories are not literal translations, and though the Japanese story and all quaint Japanese expressions have been faithfully preserved, they have been told more with the view to interest young readers of the West than the technical student of folk-lore. In telling these stories in English I have followed my fancy in adding such touches of local color or description as they seemed to need or as pleased me, and in one or two instances I have gathered in an incident from another version. At all times, among my friends, both young and old, English or American, I have always found eager listeners to the beautiful legends and fairy tales of Japan, and in telling them I have also found that they were still unknown to the vast majority, and this has encouraged me to write them for the children of the West.
