In a collection translated by #YeiTheodoraOzaki from a #MeijiEra collection by #SazanamiIwaya for a young western audience at the start of the 20th century, Japanese Fairy Tales contains some brutal and shocking things. There's also a lot of humour, plenty of morals, and a deal of redemption.

#StudioGhibli fans will enjoy Japan's oldest recorded folktale 'The Woodcutter and the Moon Child', upon which The Tale of Princess Kaguya is based.
