Discover the timeless magic of Japan's most beloved stories-tales of moon princesses, ghostly musicians, clever animals, and snow spirits that have shaped generations.
In Japan Tales, you'll find 20 traditional Japanese folktales adapted into clear, modern English, based on the classic works of Lafcadio Hearn and Yei Theodora Ozaki. These stories were once passed from mouth to ear in quiet mountain villages, told by monks, parents, and traveling storytellers. Now, they come alive again-beautifully reimagined and accompanied by elegant black-and-white illustrations.
Meet Kaguya-hime, the mysterious princess from the moon; Momotarō, the brave boy born from a peach; Yuki-Onna, the snow woman who appears to travelers in the storm; and Hoichi, a blind musician caught in the middle of a ghostly war. These characters-and many others-offer a glimpse into Japan's rich spiritual world, where nature, magic, and humanity often walk hand in hand.
✨ What makes this book special?- A carefully selected collection of Japanese folktales, ghost stories, and legends

These stories are haunting, wise, sometimes funny, sometimes sad-but always memorable. Whether you're discovering Japanese folklore for the first time or returning to old favorites, Japan Tales invites you into a world of wonder.
"Not all ghosts want to haunt you. Some just want you to listen."
