Japanese Fairy Tales by Yei Theodora Ozaki

Japanese Fairy Tales is the first book writtten by Yei Theodora Ozaki. It is a delightful introduction to the culture of Japan. Originally published in 1903, these tales have been translated and adapted to a western audience while keeping their original charm. Including such great stories as The Goblin of Adachigahara, The Mirror of Matsayuma, The Ogre of Rashamon, and many more. Includes the original illustrations.

Mrs. Johnston's biography, A Biographical Profile, claims that Our translator Yei Theodora Ozaki came from an odd background, as mentioned in the opening material to Warriors of Old Japan and Other Stories by Hugh Fraser. Bathia Catherine Morrison, daughter of William Morrison, one of their teachers, was the daughter of Baron Ozaki, one of the first Japanese men to study in the West.
