‘Jiraiya monogatari’ 自来也説話 is a vendetta tale with supernatural elements more or less translated from Chinese sources. It inspired retellings in song, woodblock prints, & on stage, leading eventually to the gōkan we’re looking at in this Episode.

What an amazing and disturbing story for Showa, retelling his life in the American WW2 concentration camps and afterwards! A tale of injustice, hardship, love and courage that everyone of all ages should read. A strong message for today. Truly inspiring!
