520			_a"Japanese Folk Stories and Fairy Tales" by Mary F. Nixon-Roulet is a collection of folk tales written in the early 20th century. This anthology presents a selection of traditional Japanese stories that often feature themes of kindness, bravery, and the interaction between humans and supernatural beings. Each tale introduces various characters, such as noble heroes, lovely princesses, and benevolent spirits, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Japan. At the start of the collection, the opening tale, "The Choice of the Princess," introduces a beautiful but willful princess named Yakami who is unwilling to marry. When her counselors summon suitors from across the land, it is the youngest of eighty-one brothers, who is kind-hearted and gentle, that captures the attention of the princess—not through bravado, but through his compassion for a wounded hare. This tale sets the tone for the collection, emphasizing the virtues of a kind heart and true character in the face of societal expectations and familial pressures. The opening portion resonates with the overarching themes of love, selflessness, and the wisdom found in humility, creating a captivating introduction to the collection.
