About this listen

Dive into the captivating world of Japanese folktales, where enchanting narratives come to life with a fresh, imaginative twist. Whether you're a devoted enthusiast of Japanese culture or just beginning to explore its treasures, this book promises an enthralling journey that combines tradition with modern creativity.

In this book, you'll discover beloved folktales like Momotaro and Urashima Taro, stories cherished by generations. While the essence remains, each retelling adds a unique perspective, offering a new lens through which to appreciate the magical sequences woven into Japan's cultural tapestry.

While many folktales end in happiness, this collection doesn't shy away from life’s bittersweet experiences, such as aging and empty nest syndrome. Through these stories, author Claire E. Hallinan skillfully invites you to embrace the full spectrum of the human experience.

Within each chapter, you'll encounter carefully chosen symbolic elements that represent the essence of Japanese folklore. The collision of past and present, tradition and modernity, adds a unique flavor to these narratives, creating a truly unforgettable listening experience.

As the author weaves these tales, you'll feel echoes of her cherished childhood memories, resonating the warmth of storytelling sessions with grandparents and loved ones. Now it's your turn to embark on this one-of-a-kind adventure, as the author passes down these timeless tales with a fresh perspective.

Join the author on a journey that celebrates tradition, creativity, and the universal human experience, as you immerse yourself in the world of Japanese folktales like never before.
