Normal Speed Audio (Sample) Slow Speed Audio (Sample) PDF Preview (Sample) Open in new tab About This Volume Living in shadows and the in-between world of dreams and reality, 妖怪 thrive in the Japanese imagination. They may appear as monsters, ghosts, unnatural beings, or even everyday objects that have taken on a life of their own. The 山姥（やまんば） is a terrifying mountain witch. She lives deep in the mountains and devours anyone who wanders into her domain. Unlike playful or mischievous yōkai, the 山姥 represents pure danger, isolation, and the fear of the wilderness. In this volume, you will explore two classic legends involving the 山姥. One tells the story of an ox-cart man who encounters her during his deliveries. The other follows a young priest armed with three magical charms that may protect him from her power. These stories are darker than most in the series and offer a fascinating look at how fear, survival, and faith appear in traditional Japanese folklore. Length: 201 pages What This Book Includes Multiple traditional stories centered on 山姥（やまんば） Each story presented in three formats:① Sentence-by-sentence Japanese with explanations② Japanese-only version for reading practice③ Full English translation to confirm understanding Sentence-by-sentence sections include furigana over kanji, a complete glossary, and clear explanations of important grammar patterns in plain English Free audio downloads included (link provided on the final page of the book) Each story includes both normal-speed and slow-speed recordings read by Yumi Includes PDF e-book versions, sound files, and an Anki deck of the vocabulary at no extra charge Stories Included 牛方と山姥（うしかたとやまんば） 山姥と三つの護符（やまんばとみっつのごふ） Who Is This Book For? This book is designed so that both newer learners and intermediate learners can benefit. The ideal level, however, is upper beginner, roughly around JLPT N4. If you are ready to move beyond simple textbook sentences and want to read traditional Japanese stories—with guidance—this volume is an excellent challenge.

NOTE: The digital version is found in the digital only Beri- Beri- Shoshinsha bundle.  Have you only recently learned hiragana but need practice? Or perhaps, your hiragana is no problem, but you want to build your hiragana and kanji reading comprehension? This new collection of stories is here to the rescue! Read real Japanese—beginner level but not boring Japanese! You won't find the Japanese version of Dick and Jane, but you will find stories written for adults. Enjoy reading flash fiction, super short essays, and funny stories of common mistakes made by learners of Japanese.Best of all, the only requirement is that you can read hiragana and have a very basic understanding of Japanese. Vocabulary and grammar will be defined and explained.     In this volume: STORY 1 SETSUBUN STORY 2 HINAMATSURI STORY 3 JAPANESE SCHOOLS  STORY 4 CHILDREN'S DAY STORY 5 SHIKKE STORY 6 OPENING THE BEACHES STORY 7 SIGNAGE STORY 8 TOMOKOROSHI  STORY 9 KANNAZUKI STORY 10 KOHARUBIYORI The format is a little different from our other more advanced readers. The idea is for the reader to read the entire story three times. Each page will have a sentence or two in hiragana (with spaces between words for you to see “words” instead of syllables) at the top and that same content in full Japanese (with furigana—small hiragana over kanji) at the bottom. The middle will have the glossary and grammatical explanations. Lastly, the story is presented in Japanese without furigana. See if you can read it after going through the previous two versions and explanations. If you have just learned hiragana, you may want to listen to the sound file while reading the hiragana section to practice correct pronunciation. If you have studied Japanese a bit longer, you may want to start with the bottom version and take note of the glossary for understanding.The glossary will have the word as it appears in the story, but it will also give the “dictionary” form so you can look the word up further. Having fun while learning a language is a great way to increase motivation. With increased motivation, you are less likely to skip a day's study. A skipped day can quickly become a lost week and then a lost… forever. And so, we hope you will have as much fun reading these stories as we had writing them. This is a physical paperback which will be shipped to you. You'll also receive the digital files for no extra charge immediately after ordering.

For Beginners to IntermediatesThis book is ideal for upper beginners, but beginners who have a good grasp of hiragana and the most fundamental aspects of Japanese grammar and sentence structure will find it valuable.  ABOUT Tezuka OsamuTezuka Osamu (1928–1989), a pioneering Japanese manga artist and animator from Osaka, earned titles like "the Father of Manga" for his influential works. Known as Japan's Walt Disney, he initiated the manga revolution with "New Treasure Island" (1947) and created famous series such as "Astro Boy" and "Black Jack." His impact continues through his extensive, award-winning contributions to manga and animation.WHAT'S INCLUDED? The book features two versions of the biography. Begin with the simplified version, which uses primarily JLPT N5-N4 level vocabulary and grammar. Then, progress to the intermediate version, which presents the same information but in a longer format with more complex grammar and vocabulary. The intermediate biography, initially featured in our Makoto Magazine (MakotoPlus.com), has been significantly revised and expanded for this edition. The book also includes a concise beginner-level version of the essay. Start by reviewing the vocabulary and grammar notes, proceed with the beginner-level essay, and then challenge yourself with the full intermediate essay.
