Mitos Y Leyendas de Japon - Hardcover

by Stefania Viti (Author), Silvia Forzani (With)

Japanese culture is full of stories and legends. Myths as well as popular tales of heroes, monsters and ghosts animate his narratives. This anthology selects the best-known stories from the Kojiki (The Ancient Book of Written Things) and the Nihonshoki (Annals of Japan), and adapts them to children and adolescents. Also included are folk figures such as the gluttonous kappa-maki (literally, cucumber sushi), as well as the folk legends of the three taro, the child-heroes whose stories are much loved in the Land of the Rising Sun. A splendid set, entertaining and fun. Also suitable for adults!
