This is a short story in a compilation by Eugie Foster called "Returning my sister's face, and other far eastern tales of whimsy and malice".

As I am stating on each of these, this is a review for one of the short stories in this anthology and thus the image will be the same for each of these. This is not a repeat.

The Tanuki-Kettle is a lighthearted Japanese based tale, very short; about a Tanuki (raccoon-dog) that likes to chase chickens and meddle in the affairs of his savior: a tea girl named Hisa. Usually Tanuki are only tricksters, here he brings her luck and good fortune.

I cannot wait to see what else this book has in store for me. I think I might do illustrations for at least this story, as I would rather like to illustrate a tanuki-kettle.
