Nihongo Tales

Things from the stories

Every folk tale on this site has a tote bag, a T-shirt and a sticker. The picture on each one is a real frame from that story, with the line that goes with it — in Japanese, with furigana, and in English underneath.

Nothing is kept in a warehouse. Each item is printed after you order it and shipped from the printer, so it takes a little longer to arrive than a shop with shelves.

The site stays free whether you buy anything or not. The stories, the audio and the furigana are not going behind a paywall, and nothing here is a better version of what you already have.
