Mr. Bamboo and the Honorable Little God by Frances Little
"Mr. Bamboo and the Honorable Little God" by Frances Little is a poignant Christmas story written in the early 20th century. This work of fiction reflects themes of childhood innocence, cultural understanding, and the spiritual awakening of a young Japanese boy named Tãke Nishimura. The narrative takes place in a Japanese mission school and captures the vibrant experiences of children learning about Christmas in a foreign context. The story revolves around Tãke
Chan, a young boy who is enamored with the idea of a new God as he learns about Christmas traditions. He prepares eagerly for the celebration, crafting gifts and decorations, and is excited about welcoming this new deity. His pure-hearted belief leads him to mistakenly perceive a beautiful doll as the embodiment of this God. Despite battling illness, his imaginative spirit shines through, culminating in a touching scene where he prays to the doll, affectionately addressing it as "Honorable Little God." The tale culminates in a bittersweet revelation as Tãke Chan's fascination with the foreign customs and his gentle spirit transcend his understanding, leading to a profound connection to the Christ-child before he passes away.
