Anglicko-české vydání toho nejlepšího z lidových pohádek, které na konci 19. století v Japonsku posbíral a vtipně i poeticky převyprávěl americký orientalista W. E. Griffis. Příběhy plné fantazie vyprávějí třeba o tom, proč se hvězdní milenci na obloze setkávají jen jednou do roka, proč medúzy nemají krunýř nebo proč hmyz tak neodolatelně přitahuje světlo. Setkáváme se s japonskými bájnými hrdiny i nadpřirozenými bytostmi, zbožnými mnichy, chudými rolníky nebo třeba zvědavými žabáky, přičemž jedinečný japonský kolorit dodává pohádkám zcela zvláštní kouzlo.
