Japanese Folktale Series Japanese folktales are not just about fighting demons or magical adventures. Many stories, much like “Rakugo” (traditional comic storytelling), sharply depict human psychology with irony and humor. Today, I would like to introduce a story called “Sennin Mikan” (The Hermit’s Tangerine). This implies a tale about the universal desire to “get rich quick” without working, and the unexpected consequences that follow.
Discover the Japanese folktale "Sennin Mikan." A story of a greedy man, a magical tangerine, and a lesson on patience. What happens when you eat the gold?
