Two Brazilian editions, bringing together 36 Japanese children's stories, by Floren Sakade and illustrated by artist Yoshisuke Kurosaki and Yoshio Hayashi.
It is a Brazilian edition, which can be read to children in Portugal, taking into account the new spelling agreement. It is unique in the world because it is in two languages, Portuguese and Japanese. It is a tribute to the largest Japanese community living outside the country of the rising sun. The stories are translated accurately to not alter or detract from its content, which strives to explain in a simple way the Japanese customs and traditions. They are charming stories that were orally transmitted for several generations of Japanese. It is recommended reading for the little ones, because they share the teachings of Nippon culture, some are ancient legends, others are moral tales, nonsense, engaging characters a bit strange, as is the case of tengus, supernatural beings with big noses. There are two volumes, which allow simple and so beautiful, (the illustrations are in charge of two accomplished artists in their country of origin), access to a culture which is far and still close and learn a language at the same time. Happy reading!
