Tales of Japanese Warriors

Synopsis

FOR THE FIRST TIME TRANSLATED INTO PORTUGUESE, PANDORGA PUBLISHING PRESENTS TO ITS READERS THE WORKS JAPANESE TALES AND TALES OF JAPANESE WARRIORS, ORGANIZED BY THE BRILLIANT YEI THEODORA OZAKI. Anime fans will be enchanted by this blend of Japanese tradition and British culture—characteristics of the organizer herself—as the book Japanese Tales features famous stories such as "The Bamboo Cutter and the Moon Child," which has been adapted by Studio Ghibli in the animated film The Tale of the Princess Kaguya. However, Yei Theodora Ozaki also gathered lesser-known yet equally fantastic tales, such as "The Five-Colored Stones and Empress Jokwa," which bears Chinese influence. WITH EXCLUSIVE ILLUSTRATIONS BY KAKUZO FUJIYAMA, THIS BOOK COMPILED IN THE LATE 19TH CENTURY BRINGS STORIES THAT HARKEN BACK TO THE ANCIENT DYNASTIES OF OLD JAPAN AND WILL SURELY MOVE ITS READERS. Meanwhile, the book Tales of Japanese Warriors will reveal to readers the most precious Japanese values: discipline, loyalty, dedication, perseverance, self-sacrifice, humility, and devotion. This ethical foundation and the captivating narratives are beautifully complemented by illustrations from Shusui Okakura and other artists, resonating with the rich past and memory of Japan.
