Ten Oni Drummers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
One oni after another rise out of the sand in this delightful book by Matthew Gollub. In this book, the oni are not so much terrible and fierce, but endearing and protecting. They play their Japanese drums (taiko) to ward off any evil in their path. A brief history of the oni, the taiko, and kanji (Chinese characters that were adopted in written Japanese) appears at the end of the book, and a chart is included for those eager to learn to write the kanji. The illustrations by Kazuko Stone, are bright and cheerful and show the imagination that went into the making of the book.
