`Kachi Kachi Mountain`: the very famous Japanese folktale in which a tanuki (Japanese raccoon dog), captured by a man, is released by his wife, who the tanuki then kills and cooks. Changing his shape into that of the dead wife, he then serves her flesh-soup to the husband. In revenge, a rabbit (a friend of the couple), plays tricks on the tanuki in various ways, dropping a bee's nest on its head then 'treating' the stings with a burning peppery poultice. Ex-owner`s inscription on back cover. Otherwise fine. 1 v., complete. 5 l., woodblock-printed. Text in Japanese. Seller Inventory # 674
