Reading Notes: Japanese Fairy Tales (Part B)

I enjoyed these readings a bit more than those for yesterday because these had more magical characters, and I feel like I can incorporate some of them into my storybook. The story of the warrior, Schippeitaro, and the Spirit of the Mountain was one that I think I could pretty easily adapt as the warrior's character is similar to mine in his pursuit of adventure.

I thought it was interesting that we got to see several personalities that the Tanukis had. Some were tricksters while others were downright evil. I like the common theme of shapeshifting magic, which I guess makes the Super Mario "Tanuki Suit" accurate to legend (it lets you transform into a statue).
