Ancient Tales and Folklore of Japan | 
Did about two hours of recording and then editing some chapters for #Librivox this morning to kick off my #24b4Monday challenge. This is the illustration from the chapter I read from “Ancient Tales and Folklore of Japan” from the story of Watanabe Tatsuzo, a Tokugawa holdout who refused to recognize the Meiji restoration. He was executed by Meiji general Saigo Takamori, but won Saigo‘s respect for his honor. @TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65 #24in48
BeansPage Love the illustration 😍 6y
ColleenIsReading Isn‘t it cool? It comes from the actual text, I was happy to find it online. It shows the moment Watanabe gets busted by a sentry as he tries to sneak in and assassinate some Meiji honchos. I am looking forward to this book being released so I can listen to the rest of it—I really enjoyed my 2 chapters! (edited) 6y
