Since 1947 the Folio Society has published beautiful illustrated editions of some of the world’s greatest books. It produces illustrated hardback editions of classic fiction and non-fiction books. Each Folio edition features specially designed bindings and includes artist-commissioned illustrations, or researched artworks and photographs. A treasury of Japanese folklore and wisdom, beautifully bound by Folio and fully illustrated by artist Yuko Shimizu. The stories are variously witty, allegorical, mystical, gross, funny and enigmatic. A window into a long-vanished culture that still fascinates, this collection of 170 tales introduces us to a broad tableau of characters: saints and scoundrels, ghosts and magical healers and a vast assortment of deities and demons. The tales cover unexpected themes such as Surprises, Monk Jokes and Oddities; all offer invaluable insights into Japans cultural heritage. From a young boy cunningly outwitting a monk so he can claim a pot of delicious syrup for himself, to a man who steals a dream from a dream-reader and nuns who dance ecstatically after eating wild mushrooms then run down a hill to surprise a group of woodcutters, the topics are far-reaching and the narratives enchanting. Despite many of the tales almost 1,000-year history, Royall Tylers sympathetic and colloquial translations ensure the human conditions they convey are not so far removed from our modern experience. Compassion, jealousy, lust, benevolence, greed, charity all these traits and more are depicted in this diverse work of reality and fantasy, populated by a large cast of mythical and human figures. Courting men were like bees visiting shy flowers, and courtship took place largely in the dark The passage from lover to husband was a passage from darkness and secrecy to daylight and public recognition.
