Book Synopsis Japanese Animal-wife Tales by : Fumihiko Kobayashi
Book excerpt: By re-examining the gender-specific behaviors of both the animal-woman and her human spouse, this book recovers the sociocultural and historical contexts that underlay their behaviors to demonstrate the actual gender characteristics that shaped the original Japanese Animal-Wife tales, highlighting the assertive, rather than naive, personality of women in early Japanese folktale tradition."
