Ah, this reminds me of a book I read when I was little! “The Ghost in the Tokaido Inn” was about him, and back then I couldn’t even pronounce romaji, so I said Ooka like “boot.” XD

Is there a particularly good book about japanese historical/legendary/mythological stories anyone can recommend? I love it ^^

Interesting article… sometimes, widsom uses tactics that seem pretty bizarre at first. Though I’d like to point out that in the Biblical story, the baby wasn’t actually cut in half in the end (the real mother said she’d rather give the baby to the other woman than have that happen, so Solomon let her keep the baby). Even if you didn’t mean that the baby was killed, the way the article was written does make it sound a bit like it.

But I did like the part about the “sound of money” verdict. Clever… it would be weird if people nowadays at restaurants/other food places got up in arms today over people smelling their food (Main Street at the Magic Kingdom would be a riot, considering that they purposefully waft the bakery smells outside to draw people in).

ya know…the ‘sound of money’ thing is going the way of the dinosaur. most people use debit/credit nowadays….so i guess it’d have to be the sound of a receipt being printed? lol…
