Japanese Folk Tales

Picture
Here is as many Japanese folk tales as I possibly can write. I want this to be as complete a list as I can so that this can be a one-stop shop for Japanese folk tales. This task will clearly take a while, so bear with me! Please bear in mind, also, that almost every folk tale in the world - even Japanese ones - has an alternate story.

Undoubtedly, there are thousands of Japanese Myths, Folktales, Legends, and any of the other countless words that mean the same thing. I'm going to try to limit them to classics (maybe a few modern day stories), and add a few Ainu folk tales with them as well.


The main purpose of this is to give you ideas for your own fantasy campaigns.
