Yes, these two do have books*

Aiko_589 mukashi mukashi(this mean times of past times of past, so i am not sure how to say in english) "mukashi mukashi ..." is basically the equivalent to "Once upon a time ..." or "Long ago..." in English story telling. whee I remember when I took the Japanese 101 class at the college nearby, we had to translate a bit of "Momotaro" ... I need to find my folder from that class. crying * it has fallen into a pit of no return! * anyway, I'm pretty sure they stole the story of Momotaro and turned it into "James and the Giant Peach" here in America,... but I need to compare the stories to be sure.

" is pretty common, although now it gets made fun of a lot. ( Because it's cliché.) .... and my dad is telling me that the "military story" sentence is "And no $#!%! There I was... " stare ... my dad is silly.

Shimotsuma Monogatari catches my interest greatly, although I really enjoy the Momotaro, Issunboshi, and Kuchi-sake Onna tales, too.
The stories about Yuki Onna are chilling, as well as the ones about the Rokurokubi! xD

Roxchan does anyone know any other japanese beliefs and sayings; if you do this ****, this will happen *** or something like that? =O i'm really interested in this too! My mum is Korean (o.O this thing probably applies to all Asians) and she's not usually superstitious, but last New Year's Eve, she was away from home to some place or other. And she took the time to call me and made sure I dumped out the rice pot and cleaned it well before the New Year. She didn't really explain, but from what I heard, using the same rice in the New Year as in the Old Year is like a metaphor (or maybe even literal) for carrying over the troubles and bad luck of the Old Year into the New Year. She really surprised me there, but it was really cool to hear something like that. Especially from mum, since she's so linear most of the time.
