Read--in Japanese--how the wise and young Hikoichi shows his smarts with this two short stories in Japanese
The first story has the lord of the castle testing Hikoichi in a Solomonesque question--which young lord is the true young lord
The second story shows chosing the first and most favorable isn't always best In the end only Hikoichi can enjoy the cherry blossoms
While beginners to Japanese can get a lot from this hiragana knowledge is required
All kanji have furigana All vocabulary is listed with English under each paragraph The full story just in Japanese is also provided so you can practice reading without interruption After each story we also provide an English summary We recommend avoiding this until after tackling the Japanese but if you need a little help this summary should give you a hint
Please note: All Japanese characters are shown as images Even though the latest generation of Kindle can handle Japanese fonts the upload utility Amazon provides does not allow Japanese yet Of course as soon as it is possible we will update the books with real Japanese fonts We've tested this ebook on the newest (smaller) Kindle iPad and iPhone and the graphics are very readable but unfortunately unscalable
