The amazing adventures of Momotarand#x014D;, a boy found inside a peach and raised by an elderly couple, is one of Japan's most popular folktales. An exquisite handscroll painted by Kanand#x014D; Naganobu (1775-1828) contains one of the finest illustrated versions of the tale known today. The illustrations are reproduced in their entirety as the story follows Momotarand#x014D; 's journey to the terrifying Island of Ogres. After befriending a dog, a monkey, and a pheasant, Momotarand#x014D; crosses the sea with his new companions and lays siege to the demons' fearsome mountain fortress.

One of the first Japanese folktales to have been translated into English, the story of Momotarand#x014D; is a delightful and lively voyage of the imagination that can be enjoyed by young and old alike.
