{"product_id":"japanese-fairytales","title":"Japanese Fairytales","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eYoto Says: Discover timeless Japanese folktales filled with brave heroes, clever creatures, and unexpected twists that bring classic themes to life in new and magical ways.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir authors valued family, duty, patience, and heroism. They longed for children in their old age and rejoiced when they saw cruelty and envy punished, wrongs righted, and kindness and bravery rewarded. These ideas are recognized the world over. What makes the stories different is partly the characters: the brave samurai, the evil wizards; the fantastical creatures—goblins, dragons, demons, fairies; the cunning talking animals—not only sparrows, badgers, and rabbits, but crocodiles and jellyfish too. You may feel you know what is coming when the hero is told not, under any circumstance, to open the box—or when the doting father takes a second wife, a wicked stepmother. There is even one tale where the new wife sends a servant to take the daughter into the woods and dispose of her (sound familiar?). Though the ideas are tried and trusted, the journey is fresh and new. Not only because the heroes ride on paper cranes or tortoises that swim under the sea but also because the destination may not be what you expect. There is even more than one story where the wicked woman repents her evil ways and goes on to live a good and kind life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTracks included:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"ul\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Tongue-Cut Sparrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Story of Urashima Taro, the Fisher Lad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Farmer and the Badger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Shinansha, or the South Pointing Carriage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Adventures of Kintaro, the Golden Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Story of Princess Hase, a Story of Old Japan \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Story of the Man Who Did Not Wish to Die\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Bamboo-Cutter and the Moon-Child\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Mirror of Matsuyama, a Story of Old Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Goblin of Adachigahara\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Sagacious Monkey and the Boar \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Happy Hunter and the Skillful Fisher \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Story of the Old Man Who Made Withered Trees to Flower\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Jelly Fish and the Monkey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Quarrel of the Monkey and the Crab \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Story of Prince Yamato Take\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eMomotaro, or the Story of the Son of a Peach\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eThe Ogre of Rashomon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"li col-xs-offset-1 p\"\u003eHow an Old Man Lost his Wen\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Blackstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43842088927369,"sku":"CRSTXX04256","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0310\/7487\/7577\/files\/VQ0TpdhAu2oIlyPZ0LO6i5L2sN2qK1EGTGMJQ7S_IHQ.png?v=1786097148","url":"https:\/\/yoto-usa.myshopify.com\/products\/japanese-fairytales","provider":"Yoto USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
