Day XLI: この音とまれ！ pg. 31-35. & おキツネのお産

4 pages today!

And read today’s folktale which is from Yamaguchi prefecture. About a midwife delivering a baby that turns out to be a sneaky fox

コケコッコー！

~ New Words ~
お産婆 (おさんば) - Midwife
難産 (なんざん) - Difficult delivery (childbirth), and there’s an English word for this that I didn’t know: Dystocia.
女中 (じょちゅう) - Maid, female servant
お膳 (おぜん) - Four-legged tray for food

Bonus Confusion Word: 武蔵, I’ve always known this as the ultimate Japanese swordsman of legend: Musashi. But in この音, the furigana it gives is「たけぞう」rather than 「むさし」, so that left me stumped for a bit (then I remembered that they’re both valid readings, and that names generally don’t care how a kanji is read).
