Originally published in 1903, Yei Theodora Ozaki's translation of
Sadanami Sanjin's collection of Japanese fairy tales has been the
introduction of many a young child into the legends and fables of old
Japan across the years. Definitely not a scholarly reference or
valuable research tool for folktale researchers, Ozaki unabashedly
re-crafted some of the stories, translating loosely and adding in
elements of unrelated tales, in order to make them more enjoyable and
understandable for Western children. She even gave Urashimataro a happy
ending!
