Publisher Description

Two hundred and twenty tales from medieval Japan—tales that welcome us into a fabulous faraway world populated by saints, scoundrels, ghosts, magical healers, and a vast assortment of deities and demons. Stories of miracles, visions of hell, jokes, fables, and legends, these tales reflect the Japanese civilization. They ably balance the lyrical and the dramatic, the ribald and the profound, offering a window into a long-vanished culture.

Just This Girl ,

Intro is too long

I’ve downloaded a sample but the introduction is sooooo long-winded that you don’t get to sample any of the actual stories.
