Show Notes
This week I read my very first Japanese folk tale. It's about a folk hero well known in Japan, Momotaro, who was born out of a peach. The tale apparently dates back over 1000 years. I found it in a book of folk tales collected by Yei Theodora Ozaki. It considers ideas of teamwork, bravery, steadfastness and fighting for a better life for all.
