The Golden Dragon And The Heavenly Maiden
This picture book retells an Okinawan folktale. Once upon a time, a heavenly maiden appeared to a man and woman of different social rank and told them to move from Naha to the island of Geruma. The two married and were blessed with a little girl named Kana. On Kana’s seventh birthday, she told her parents that she must go to heaven. She climbed to the top of the mountain and was carried away on the back of a golden dragon. Many years later, the island was attacked by pirates, and Kana returned on the dragon to vanquish them with a tornado. The young bamboo at the root of the tornado stabbed the top of Ojima and became Ohyuri Forest. Akaba’s illustrations capture the dashing figure of Kana and the power of the dragon. (Doi)
