Like in any culture, Japanese kids grow up listening to the stories repeatedly told by their parents and grandparents.

Each half-hour episode of Folktales from Japan consists of three self-contained stories, well-known and unknown, with a special focus on heartwarming stories that originate from Tohoku, the northern region heavily touched by the earthquake of 2011.
