Japanese Fairy Tales – Stories from Shiga
FUJIWARA no Hidesato was commanded by the Dragon God to slay a giant centipede ravaging Mount Mikasa (Oumi Fuji), and he successfully defeated the monster. As a token of gratitude, the Dragon King bestowed upon him a magical bag filled with an inexhaustible supply of rice. This legendary feat earned him the heroic epithet “Tawara” (meaning “bale”) and immortal fame. Also packed with famous works like ‘Momotaro’ and ‘The Tongue-Cut Sparrow’.
