Wow, whoever made up the story really didn't have much imagination. Most of the Kitsune stories are really fun and have the "victims" usually is some silly manner in the end. This one just seemed like a woman wanted to hitchhike and instead of a spice and wolf romance type story, we get just a-holes doing a-hole things. I would really like to watch more myth stories though, they are always the best.

I made this story about a kitsune. His name is Khomiatzu, or Khomi for short. He is an orphan who grew up with his relatives and has some quirky discussions with his cousins. He can be mischievous at times, but also helpful. Because I don't want to make him inaccurate, I am now studying Japanese culture, because he's shapeshifting fox from japan.

AWESOME ! Just the best show on youtube :-)

‘Konjaku Monogatarishu" (The Tale of Times Now Past)is a collection of stories that are said to have been established in the late Heian period of after AD,1120 The author and the editor are not understood. There are more than 1100 stories in all thirty-one volumes. Since the beginning of each story begins with "Now is the old days", it was named ‘Konjaku Monogatarishu" (The Tale of Times Now Past)

To sum up. Poor Fox lady loved riding on a horse with a powerful guy - but did not want to put out or mess up the human’s life (as can happen in these tails) so it ran away. Eventually they caught it and tortured it. And “The MAN” did not realize that they went too far till the fox told them they are torturing fun loving foxes! Was this story a warning against hitch hiking, demanding sex from vulnerable women or the new warriors on the land are jerks. I am going with that last one.

That whole starting bit with the heian period, the uprisings, killings, and chaos.... its giving me deja vu...

I wouldn't call it a unhappy ending. Ok, she got tortured a bit, but she lived without too much damage as she was seen again afterwards in the same place doing the same exact thing. The real question is "WTF"? I mean, she tries to hitch a hike, she rides for a bit and then she turns into a fox and runs away. Why? What's the use? Did she need some human warmth? Or is "hitching a hike" a metaphor for something else that wouldn't be proper for me to mention?

Would you ever consider doing a video about how European fairytales are changed when translated into Japanese? I suggest this partly because a Russian friend and I were discussing the differences between Snow White. Where English translates the Evil Queen saying, “Mirror, Mirror on the Wall, who’s the fairest of them all?”, the Russian is very different. Another reason is that I was practicing translating a bit of Cinderella from hiragana, and that version didn’t have a fairy godmother appear but a witch (mahoutsukai), so it makes me curious as to what other familiar elements get changed when in another language.
