Folktales from Japan

Orihime and Hikoboshi; The Mercy of the Priest Statue; Yatsuhashi (5x14)

: 03, 2016

Orihime and Hikoboshi fall in love, but neglect their duties. They are separated eternally by the milky way (this tale is a renewal). A woman is tricked by an evil mother and dies in a swamp, but she wasn't what she appeared to be. A woman's sons drown in a river, and she builds eight bridges to commemorate their deaths.
