Description:
This year, our "Big Book in a Small Format" brings together fairy tales from Japan: exciting, exotic, touching stories that are in no way inferior to the fairy tale collections in the "manner of the Brothers Grimm" - and yet come from a completely different storytelling tradition. Often it is downright spooky.

There is the Yukki Onna, who has entered pop culture and its horror films as the "Snow Woman", and the Hone Onna, who, as the Bone Woman, also inspired Sanyutei Encho to write the most eerie episode of his Peony Lantern. The boundary between reality and fiction, life and death seems incomparably more fluid than in their European counterparts - the Japanese storytellers do not shy away from eroticism either.
