Japanese Folk Stories and Fairy Tales (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Japanese Folk Stories and Fairy Tales

A beautiful princess lived in Inaba. She was called the Princess of Yakami, and was the loveliest princess in all the land. Her skin was like velvet, her hair was dark as night, and her eyes were as bright and soft as the stars. She was sweet as well as fair, but willful and when they said, Fair Princess, you must marry, she replied, The time has not yet come. I see nowhere in Inaba the man who may be my lord.
