商品の詳細

‘The stories are variously witty, allegorical, mystical, gross, funny and enigmatic.’
  1. Publishers Weekly
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 Japan’s 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 Tyler’s 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.’
  1. Royall Tyler

The Folio Society books challenge the idea that one should not judge books by their cover. The most exquisite editions in all ways possible! Thank you for your craftsmanship and dedication, The Folio Society team!

Easily a family heirloom. Beautiful classical artistry spread throughout. Many pages also feature marginalia that gives the stories atmosphere without slowing down the reader. The case included is no exception to the careful craftsmanship.

I love this book. it's pure beauty. When I unwrapped it (awesome packaging, btw!) my family's eyes lit up with a collective "Wow!" Book moments like those are so rare to come by. Can't wait to have the shared reading moments. Thanks, Folio Society.
