[Machine Translation] Otogi-zoshi (The Otogi Soshi). The "Sutra Collection" represented by "Sansho-tayu". Both were established in the Middle Ages as "narrative literature" for the common people. Both fairy tales and sermon scriptures were created in an easy-to-understand manner and conveyed the state of the world at that time. The underlying allegorical nature of these tales is still relevant today. Filled with fantasies, lessons, and religious beliefs, these tales, told in vivid language by the same lowly storytellers, entertained and encouraged the common people in an age of chaos.
