Show Notes for Episode 2 - Japanese Folk Tales

Sep 29, 2018

This week we narrated and discussed folktales from Japan! We don't have much as far as sources go, as we read directly from the book "Japanese Fairy Tales" (also known as "The Japanese Fairy Book"), which was compiled by Yei Theodora Ozaki and published in 1908 (or 1903 for the Google books version). The book is freely available on Project Gutenburg: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/4018/4018-h/4018-h.htm
 
We read 2 stories from this book, "The Farmer and the Badger", and "The Story of the Man Who Did Not Wish to Die"
 
Here are some of the beautiful illustrations from the book (they'll make more sense if you've listened to the episode). I found these here:
 
"The Farmer and the Badger"
 
 
 
"The Story of the Man Who Did Not Wish to Die"
 
 
 
If you have any personal stories about creatures, monsters, or cryptids (even if you don't know what it was), please email us at stories@folkloreontherocks.com so we can eventually do a listener episode! Visit us at folkloreontherocks.com for more in depth notes, links, and pictures. 

Once we hit 100 iTunes reviews, we'll release a bonus episode with a listener selected creature! Please rate and review us when you have a moment, as it will help us immensely!
