Japanese Folk Tales

The Man Who Made Dead Trees Blossom and Other Fairy Stories
Capitalizing on the global appetite for Japanese culture, this collection of classic folktales delivers magic, myth, and meaning in a luxurious package.
One day a humble woodcutter goes into the forest and discovers a magical waterfall flowing with sake wine, changing his fortune forever. In another tale, a troop of phantom cats must be defeated by a heroic warrior and his unexpected companion. And when an old man discovers the power to make dead trees blossom, his jealous neighbor will do anything to steal the power for himself. This is the rich and lively world of Japanese folklore, filled with unique characters, fantastical creatures, and heartwarming lessons on fate, kindness, and resilience. Originally published in Japan between 1885 and 1922, this is the first time these stories are collected in a single volume, elegantly republished for modern readers. Original woodcut illustrations are included, bringing the world of mythic Japan to life for readers eager for a fantastical escape from the modern world. A foiled cover, ribbon marker, and gold-sprayed edges will appeal to package-conscious fans of myth and fantasy titles who are seeking an elevated reading experience as well as collectible items to be treasured.
