About
JAPANESE - ENGLISH EDITION Taketori Monogatari is the earliest surviving example of Japanese literary fiction and this edition, which is based on one published by Dr. Mankichi Wada in 1928, has been produced with the aim of making the text more accessible to students who wish to read authentic Japanese, but who may need some assistance. The main focus of the story is the beautiful and enigmatic Kaguyahime and the various tasks that she sets her suitors and, although the premise of the tale is fantastic, the characters and the situations in which they find themselves are described with realism, pathos and humor.
