Isengrimus - Isengrimus

Japanese: 《イセングリムス》 - いせんぐりむす
Isengrimus - Isengrimus

...The animals are skillfully superimposed on the people of feudal society, accurately depicted and satirized, without losing their original characteristics. The oral tradition of J. Grimm and G.

However, the question of Nivardus's origin remains unresolved, and it is likely that the story was born in India, traveled to Europe through Aesop, and was passed down through written and oral literature.
