Folktales from Japan

The Extending Head; Strong Tarou; Kijimuna and the Sea God (3x28)

: 19, 2014

A man marries a beautiful, rich wife, but is warned never to wake up in the middle of the night. One night he wakes up. An old couple build a child out of the dirt from their bodies. It comes alive and becomes their son (this tale is a renewal). The Kijimuna fairies that were saved by an old couple fill a beach with flowers but the sea god gets angry.
