National legends about Japan

Japanese folklore is Japanese folklore. Shintoism and Buddhism have great influence on it. It often involves humorous or abnormal characters and situations, and includes the classification of supernatural things, such as bodhisattva, kami (god and respected spirit), Y Kay (monster spirit) (such as oni, kappa and tengu), yū rei (ghost), dragon and animals with supernatural power, such as kitsune (fox), tanuki (beaver) and Muji.

Japanese folklore is often divided into several categories: "mukashibanashi", the legendary past; Nami Dabanasi, a sad story; Obakebanashi, a ghost story; Ongaeshibanashi, a kind story; Tonchibanashi, a witty story; Waraibanashi, a funny story; And "yokubaribanashi", the story of greed.

Foreign literature has influenced Japanese folk customs. Some stories in ancient India provide material for the formation of Japanese stories, which is of great significance. Indian materials have been greatly modified in this way to adapt to the feelings of people who will like Japan in general. [ 1][2]

It influenced the Japanese folklore The Monkey Story, two Sanskrit epics Ramayana and China classic The Journey to the West. [3] The Bunsen Legend, a story mentioned by a Buddhist, appeared in the Japanese "Ordinary Tales Collection" in a revised form. [4][5]

In the middle of the 20th century, storytellers often traveled from town to town to tell these stories.
