## Description

Once upon a time in Japan, there was a province where parents who reached the age of sixty had to be abandoned deep in the woods on a hill called Ubasute-yama... Was the story based on a real practice? History is written and re-written by the victors of history, but folktales are told and retold by folks of the ordinary. The truths they intend to convey can differ greatly... A collection of 28 Japanese folktales coupled with a digestible explanation of the cultural and historical background of each. An excellent entry point into learning Japanese culture.

Review: Nice stories and facts - Great short reads - bath time companion can be picked up and put down easily..
Review: Clever, entertaining, and insightful! - It's a great read for anyone interested in Japanese culture. The author mixes stories with his own cultural insights in a way that is engaging, entertaining, and educational! I devoured this book in a day, and it even gave some great ideas on where to go when I visit Japan next month.

This book is part folk tales, and part Japanese history...and 100% fun to read. Still going through it but not because it's difficult reading, I'm just pacing myself. I recommend this to anyone interested in Japanese history and culture.
