Tales of Old Japan

by Lord Redesdale

Tales of Old Japan by Lord Redesdale, published in 1871, is a collection of short stories, folklore, and observations on Japanese life during the Edo period (1603-1868). Drawing on his experiences as a British diplomat in Japan during the Meiji Restoration, Lord Redesdale offers a glimpse into the customs, traditions, and beliefs of a bygone era. The book includes classic Japanese tales, such as 'The Forty-seven Ronins', a true account of samurai revenge, as well as detailed descriptions of ceremonies like marriage and seppuku (harakiri), providing insights into Japanese social structures and values.
