People told various tales on many occasions all over Japan. There are some categories of minwa (folktales). Mukashi-banashi (once-upon-a-time tales) begin with "Once upon a time, there lived...". Densetsu (legends) tell about a mountain, lake, temple, or place-name. Seken-banashi (tales about the world) are episodes on rather recent events or people. When you listen to these tales, you can enjoy interesting stories and local accents in various districts. You will also feel joy and sadness of life, ways of living and feeling, and power and vitality of the Japanese people.
