Recently, I have just realized that this site turns out there is no "playground" for children, so eventually I felt the need to open a new page that contains Japanese folklore. Of course, this page is not limited to children, but is open to all ages.
Among the many folklore, there beberpa that looks unique and different from the others that have a special temple built in honor of the hero. The temple is a temple that is Momo Tarō in Okayama built for the story and Momo Taro and Temple Kuriga for Kinyama story.
Urashima Tarō
------------------------------
The story of a turtle rescuer youth
This story is about reciprocation of a turtle that was rescued by a young man named Urashima Tarō. As gratitude, the turtle was invited to his home on the ocean floor. The turtle was in fact a very beautiful princess and live in a palace under the sea is very large and magnificent. After staying for three days in the palace under the sea, Urushima Tarō intend to return. which eventually allowed albeit with a heavy heart. Before leaving the princess gave him a gift of a box while instruct to do it all once opened the box.
Urushima Tarō very surprised when he arrived on the mainland, it turns out things have changed. Her home was also gone and all the villagers no one knew. Finally, from a resident explained that she was once heard a story of a villager named the same Urushima Tarō lost at sea. The man was then kind enough to escort Urushima Tarō to the cemetery where all the families of the dead are buried. In sadness, loneliness and confusion Urushima Tarō finally opened the box are given by the Princess. Thin smoke come out of the box and suddenly his hair turned white, her skin wrinkled and his body became frail died and fell in a hole that seemed to have been prepared by his family.
It turned out that this anomaly is caused by the difference between the ocean and the land. According to the calculations of time on the ocean floor, Urushima Tarō only staying for a few days only. But according to the time on the mainland is 700 years old.
Note: This Tarō Urushima story has many versions. Please see the full version of wikipedia. The story that I wrote above is based on a book that I read first and less know which version either.
