This week we’re going to look at a famous Japanese folktale: Momotarō, the story of the “peach boy.”

This week’s story is called "The Peach's Son,” and it was first published in a book called Myths and Legends of Japan, by F. Hadland Davis.

This episode was researched and written by Lindsey Morse. Our theme music was composed by Graeme Ronald.

Additional music: "Call of the Mountains" by Purple Planet is licensed under CC BY 3.0 / A derivative from the original work

“Momotarō’s Song” was recorded by Kaihsu Tai in 2016.
