Synopsis
Excerpt from Japanese Folk Stories and Fairy Tales
A beautiful princess lived in Inaba. She was called the Princess of Yakami, and was the loveliest princess in all the land. Her skin was like velvet, her hair was dark as night, and her eyes were as bright and soft as the stars. She was sweet as well as fair, but willful, and when they said, "Fair Princess, you must marry," she replied, "The time has not yet come. I see nowhere in Inaba the man who may be my lord."
At this the court was in despair. The Princess would not marry until she was quite ready, - that the counselors knew. They had not counseled the little, pretty, willful princess for nothing. Had the king, her father, lived it might have been different; but he was long since gone, and the queen mother could do no more with the princess than could the wise men of the kingdom. Early in her life the princess had learned that there was just one thing she could say which no one could answer. She had only to look very sweetly at whoever was trying to persuade her to do something, and then, with a dainty little smile, say simply, "But I don't want to!"
