The Tale of the Mouse - The Tale of the Mouse
|
A fairy tale from the Muromachi period. The author is unknown. The story is about an old mouse who lives near Horikawa-in in Shijo, Kyoto, who makes a promise with a human girl to save his descendants from the realm of animals, but when things don't go as he intended, he is inspired and climbs Mount Koya. This is a Buddhist version of the so-called "monster marriage" tale. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
