Tanuki Scroll XVI: 竹から生まれた女の子 ![]()
Read today’s folktale from Tottori Prefecture!
It’s the rather well-known story about a girl born from bamboo, I don’t think I’ve heard the whole thing before, so it nice to read the full story.
If I get the time later tonight I might try and game a bit in Japanese.
