Japanese Folk Tales Mukashi Banashi
Japanese Folk Tales Mukashi Banashi Japanese folk tales are called, mukashi banashi. They begin with a set phrase like, Once upon a time (Mukashi Mukashi aru tokoro ni †¦). The characters of a mukashi banashi often include an old man and an old woman, or man with a name like Taro or Jiro. There are a few hundred stories that are considered standard Japanese folktales. Many Japanese grow up being very familiar with them. There was a popular TV series called, Manga Nihon Mukashi Banashi, which is an animated version of famous folktales. You can watch some of them on Youtube. I noticed one of the stories; Hanasaka Jiisan (Grandfather Cherry Blossom) has English sub-titles, which I think would be great to use for listening practice. I wrote out the dialogue for the first two minutes in Japanese and romaji. I hope you can use it as a study aid. If you find it useful, please let me know and I will add more dialogue in the future.
