A cute little story about a Japanese trickster spirit who takes refuge in the kitchen of a lowly tea girl after tormenting the lord of the land. This had the feeling of a child's fairy tale or fable, which meant that it was a little predictable, but it was too cute and charming for me to care. Also, I learned that the Tanooki-suit from Super Mario Brothers is based on a real bit of Japanese folklore (albeit with some aspects slightly bowdlerized). Who knew?
