Reading Notes: Japanese Fairy Tales, Part B

Image Information: Schippeitaro and the young warrior fighting the Mountain-Spirit. Web Source.

I liked the story about Schippeitaro. If I re-told this story, I would probably just use the characters of Schippeitaro and the young warrior and tell my own version with a new adventure. I also might tell a story of the young warrior returning home after the defeat of the mountain spirit.

I like the story of the magic kettle. I like the idea of it bringing good luck and I would consider a new way to center the story all on the kettle bringing good luck.
