Unabridged Audiobook
Did enjoy the short stories
Really charming.
Traditional Japanese tales, written in a beautiful manner, sounding exactly like you would imagine. I'm a big fan of Japanese culture, but this was my first reading (technically listening) folk stories of theirs. And it's really interesting to see how the ancient beliefs still very influentially appear as motives in modern art in Japan (especially if you're a manga/ anime enthusiast). I recommend the listen - it can be really meaningful and cautionary, and the voice of the narrator is soothing and calm.
Enigmatic and engrossing!
Great short collection of fairy tales. I have re-listened a few times
Slowly paced traditional Japanese folk tales interesting enough to listen to with young children. My mind would wonder off occasionally as I’m not used to such a soothing style of narration. I would have liked for a Japanese person to read these stories but I imagine the recording to be old. Still, a lovely insight into another culture.
Entertaining
Very interesting subject matter….alas very poor audio quality
very fun stories with similar versions through out most cultures and the narrator is wonderful to listen to.
This was awesome. I really enjoyed these stories.
Dreadful narrator, I lasted about 3 minutes before I removed it.
Love listening fairy tale.
Interesting fairy tales
Interesting tales. Quick read.
Very calming and loved the tales of Japan
Surprisingly entertaining. Short but sweet
I really loved this. It allowed me to access non Western fairytale stories before bed with an engaging narrator and short parables. Highly recommended for those seeking a quick listen
Quick and enjoyable.
