The Japanese Tale Of The Ghost Of Sakura is a book written by A. B. Mitford that tells the story of a ghost that haunts a cherry blossom tree in Japan. The book is a retelling of a traditional Japanese folktale and is set in the Edo period of Japan. The story follows the life of a samurai named Musashi, who falls in love with a beautiful woman named O-Yumi. However, their love is forbidden, and when Musashi is sent away on a mission, O-Yumi is forced to marry another man. Heartbroken, Musashi returns to find that O-Yumi has died and her spirit now haunts the cherry blossom tree they used to meet under. Musashi must confront the ghost and put her spirit to rest. The book is filled with Japanese culture and folklore, and the author's vivid descriptions bring the story to life.THIS 52 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Tales of Old Japan, by A. B.
