Japanese Legends

When i was little my parents told us storys when we went to bed that they made up. One was about a mouse that lived in a drawer under the cooker, others about our chinese geese Chow and Lei that lived in the orchard and then there was finger man and stinky poo that lived in the medicine cupboard and came to school with us. Somewhere in their attic is an old tape machine with these storys.

Thought about this today, for no particular reason or maybe because of a Clematis called
Fuji-Musume, with beautiful sky blue flowers which is also a famous classical dance from the Kabuki theater in Japan. Fuji (wisteria) Musume (maiden)...a tale about the 'Wisteria Maiden'
