Folktales from Japan (Furusato Saisei Nippon no Mukashi Banashi)
Cover picture (http://i.imgur.com/bh4WP.jpg)
Like in any culture, Japanese kids grow up listening to the stories repeatedly told by their parents and grandparents. The boy born from a peach; the princess from the moon who is discovered inside a bamboo; the old man who can make a dead cherry tree blossom, etc. These short stories that teach kids to see both the dark and bright sides of life have passed traditional moral values from generation to generation.
Number of Episodes: 5

First episode consisted of a few different tales which were actually interesting. This is something probably meant for the kids, but also for someone who wants to learn more about Japan. It reminded me of the time when I was reading my own country's folk tales ^^
It's not about the art, but about the culture. Don't forget that when you watch this.
