A propos de cet article

Ex-Lib/Text NEW & Bright. 1993, Library Binding, First Edition, 1st Printing. Text/NEW & Bright. Embossed red linen boards/Fine. DJ/Fine; under library mylar. An old Japanese folktale, "The Strange Folding Screen" from Nihon No Minwa, addressing some modern concerns. Adapted from & illustrated by award winning Japanese-America artist & author Sheila Hamanaka (1949- ). Story of Koji, heir to vast lands of mountains, forests & lakes. Young Koji noted the rice harvests peasants labored on their lands only enriched his family; he concluded "working is for fools" & resolves never to work. So it is he grows up to be a lazy fellow selling off bits & pieces of his property as needed for self-indulgence & sustenance. Soon it was time to cash in the house, one last mountain & a lake. In a dream, a visiting frog begs him not to sell the land as woodcutters would destroy the homes to birds & bees, and, even foxes. Moved, Koji only sells off furniture & other household goods, keeping but an old futon to sleep on & a worn, white folding screen nobody wanted. THEN, amazingly, the blank screen was covered w/pictures of frogs --- big frogs, little frogs, brown, green & gold frogs! From that day on Koji began to work hard, neighboring peasants taught him how to grow rice, barley & vegetables. Soon he married. His wife & children helped him work the fields, around the house, and together "visit the lake, admire the frogs and the mountainside". Years later on Koji's death, all the frog pictures vanish and the screen was once more blank. Beautifully re-told and illustrated, perfect for reading aloud to young audiences.…
