The Yellow Jar: Two Tales From Japanese Tradition - Volume 1

Introducing the delightfully precise and beautifully designed art of Patrick Atangan in a new series of adaptations of traditional Japanese. This book presents "The Yellow Jar", which centers around a simple fisherman and a beautiful maiden he takes as wife after finding her in a magic jar. However, she is abducted by a demon warrior considerably more powerful than the simple fisherman. But the fisherman's resolve, even after many unsuccessful attempts to rescue her, does not flinch... In "Two Chrysanthemum Maidens", a monk is faced with two rather strange wildflowers in his carefully tended garden. They've seemingly planted themselves there at will. They are weeds, but they are also lovely like women.
