Dive into the enchanting world of Kwaidan, a collection of bizarre and captivating tales drawn from ancient Japanese texts such as the Yaso-Kidan, Bukkyo-Hyakkwa-Zensho, Kokon-Chomonshu, Tama-Sudare, and Hyaku-Monogatari. While some stories may have roots in Chinese mythology, each tale has been beautifully reshaped by its storyteller to resonate with the unique culture of Japan. Among these is the chilling account of Yuki-Onna, a haunting legend recounted by a farmer from Chofu, Musashi province, reflecting the extraordinary beliefs of Japanese folklore. Additionally, the intriguing incident of Riki-Baka is a personal narrative, documented almost verbatim, with only a name altered for anonymity. Join us on this journey through the mystical and eerie essence of these timeless stories.Copyright Short Stories アート 文学史・文学批評 社会科学
