One Foot in Folklore
This week’s tale takes us to Japan, where legends take flight in unexpected forms...
Our first edition copy of The One-Legged Ghost by Betty Jean Lifton was published in New York by Atheneum in 1968. In this story, a Japanese boy witnesses a strange, one-legged creature soaring over the mountain. When the villagers gather to marvel at the sight, none can name it or explain its presence.
Betty Jean Lifton (1926–2010) was an American writer best known for her children’s books, her works on Japanese folklore, and later her groundbreaking books on adoption and identity. Having lived in Japan for several years, she drew deeply on its stories and traditions, bringing them to Western readers with sensitivity and imagination.
The illustrations are by Fuku Akino (1908–2001), a celebrated Japanese nihonga painter. Akino’s artwork beautifully captures the mysterious tone of Lifton’s tale, blending the spectral and the folkloric in luminous style.
Together, they created a tale that invites readers to step into the realm of Japanese legend, where spirits, mysteries, and unanswered questions linger in the twilight.
Do you think the boy encountered a ghost, an animal, or something else entirely?
Until next time, may your path be clear… even if the spirits walk on one leg. 😉

It was so hard to choose only 10 images, since this is tumblr's limit for images in a post now, so I chose some of my favourite finnish painters I saw in person at Atheneum a week ago!
What an amazing visit it was, I was in disbelief at the ability and talent of these painters, and i loved every single painting in the collection. I will definitely come back again next time I'm in Helsinki, this was one of my favourite museums ever I've seen in my life.
Seeing Gallen-Kallela's painting in real life was absolutely amazing. What a beautiful discovery!!
