A colorful introduction to Japanese popular culture. This anthology of myths, tales and legends allows you to enter the poetic universe of the Empire of the Rising Sun. Some texts deal with fundamental subjects such as the origin of Japan and its gods, temples and festivals, while others focus on more singular questions: why are lobsters folded in half? Why are jellyfish soft? And why do turtles have markings?

The collection is enriched with an afterword that explores in detail the specificity of the popular tale in Japan.
