Read todayβs Japanese folk story from Wakayama Prefecture!
About a Chinese tiger challenging a Japanese fox to a race. The fox tricks the tiger to win the race and the tiger sulks back to Chinaβ¦ and then sends a cat underling to go chase and bite the fox, but the cat mishears γγγ as γγΊγ and this is apparently why cats chase mice.

I love these art styles, and the daily colours! Iβve got an art project going at the moment and one of your links had a section about the traditional colours of Japan and itβs actually exactly what Iβve been looking for, thank you, thisβll be real helpful!
