Talk:Issun-bōshi

Discussion previously on page
This is the fairy tale so that a lot of the part is different from the old Japanese tale book called *Otogisoshi. The one-inch boy should be bad character in this book. Can someone make any sense of this paragraph?

Naming
Instead of princess, you should say that he meets an attractive woman named Princess Peach. --ZachKudrna18@yahoo.com

- Is there any relation to the term "tsuku-tsuku-boushi" ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 00:52, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Popular Themes
"The story of Issun Boshi follows three common themes that appear in almost every Japanese folk tale. The first theme [...] also appears in the Japanese folk tale "Momotaro."" If it really did appear in almost every Japanese folk tale, then it would be kind of awkward to name a single one in this manner (though it might work as "another example for this is Momotaro"). For one thing, while this trope is popular, I highly doubt that it actually appears in "almost every" Japanese folk tale. It certainly does not appear in almost every one linked to on wikipedia. For another, even if it does, then the second statement puts the validity of that claim into question, and makes it appear to be an exaggeration. If anybody knows more than me, I ask them to change one of the two sentences. 93.206.55.2 (talk) 11:57, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
