柳田 国男 Editorial Review

**Editorial Review** "Tono Monogatari" is a fascinating collection of folk tales that serves as a portal to the rich cultural tapestry of Japan. The book is devoid of excessive commentary, presenting the tales in their purest form, allowing readers to immerse themselves in the customs and beliefs of past generations. It inspires curiosity not just about the stories themselves, but also about the unnamed people whose everyday lives these tales have captured. Readers have expressed gratitude for this raw representation of folklore, noting its stimulating content filled with bizarre and fantastical narratives, including those about youkai and deities. These tales resonate beyond Japan, highlighting universal themes of human relationships and nature that transcend nationality and race. The book is particularly appealing for those like the reviewer who have a nostalgic connection to folklore from childhood, evoking memories of tales once heard and dreams of experiences both desired and feared. While the original text can present challenges due to its archaic language, many found it more accessible than expected, especially compared to older classical texts. This accessibility is further enhanced by the author's helpful annotations for less familiar terms. The brief nature of each tale allows for easy digestion, making it a perfect travel companion. Readers have noted that familiarity with the content can significantly enrich their experiences if visiting the locale that inspired these stories. Overall, "Tono Monogatari" offers a delightful exploration of Japanese folklore, encouraging readers to engage, reflect, and possibly share the locations and tales with others. **
