Other legends about Koji include the time he was drinking with Akechi Mitsuhide — who betrayed Nobunaga and forced him to commit suicide — when he summoned a ship from a painting in the traitorous samurai’s possession, flooding his house.

Love this visual, vaguely reminds me of when the painting of the ship, the Dawn Treader, in the chronicles of narnia comes alive.

Origins, or perhaps cultural links, of literary style, imagery and themes of a lot of modern anime are obvious in these folk tales.

Interesting to see a trickster/coyote legend from east asia, and fairly recent (last few hundred years). I wonder if there’s a longer tradition in Japan of people like this.

I thought it was talking about Boruto's Kashin Koji.

Tough to read with the sticky header that takes up 1/4 of my screen. I thought we stopped doing that in like 2009, what happened?

The story about the scrolls is a hilarious rollercoaster; I recommend reading the whole article.
