Tama E-text prepared by Mary Glenn Krause, Charlene Taylor, Barry Abrahamsen, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (https://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Internet Archive (https://archive.org) "Tama" by Onoto Watanna is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in Fukui, Japan, and centers around the themes of cultural clash, mystery, and the supernatural, particularly through the character of the enigmatic Fox-Woman. The book delves into Japanese mythology and folklore, exploring the complex relationships between Western and Japanese characters as they navigate a world filled with both charm and danger. At the start of the novel, Fukui anticipates the arrival of a foreign professor, referred to as the "Tojin-san," stirring excitement and apprehension among its citizens. While preparations unfold for his welcome—complete with tales of his dietary needs and the mysterious Fox-Woman stalking the region—whispers of superstition and fear permeate the community. As the Tojin-san struggles against the cultural superstitions surrounding him, he becomes increasingly intrigued by the legend of the Fox-Woman. The opening vividly describes the bustling atmosphere of a transitioning Japan and sets the stage for a tale that intertwines folklore, personal struggle, and the search for understanding across cultural divides.
