Two tales from the master storyteller Kenji Miyazawa
Matsuri no Ban - Ryoji goes to the autumn festival that takes place in the village near his home. There he encounters a giant man with eyes the colour of “grubby gold”. Is he, as the villagers claim, the Mountain Man of legend and is Ryoji wise to try to help him?
Kenji Miyazawa is well known for his tales of fantasy, but this story, although it contains an element of the supernatural, is firmly based in reality.
Futari no Yakunin - Very early one Sunday morning, two young boys set out to visit the fields outside the town where they live. When they are nearly at their destination they find that a notice board has been erected telling the public to “Keep Out”. Despite the warning they decide to continue with their outing...
Told in the first person, this is a superb example of Miyazawa’s “un-magical” writing. The characters and locations are acutely observed and lovingly described in a way which powerfully evokes the lost days of childhood.
In both these stories the characters very often speak colloquially, using language that is outside the province of most language learning text-books. Because of this extra pains have been taken to highlight and explain idiomatic expressions and contractions in speech and, although it is never possible to make a word for word translation from one language to another, all the speech has been translated, as literally as possible, into English.
This Japanese–English edition features:
- Modern Japanese text
- Kanji with furigana readings
- Detailed notes in English
*Recommended for intermediate and advanced students.
