26-Japanese Fairy Tales: Wisdom

Published: March 9, 2016, 4:59 a.m.

b'This week: two folktales from Japan. One is about a humble, happy stone cutter who becomes a power-mad, bitter stone cutter. The other is about, surprise surprise, supernatural occurrences at a Buddhist temple in a remote mountain region.
\\nThe creature of the week is...or are...the blue men of the Minch. They are blue, men, and very, very good at writing poetry.
