Haha, yeah, usually there's some kind of moral to these older folk tales, even if it's a bit different from what I'm used to in modern literature. (Spoilers ahead.) But in this story, I'm really scratching my head trying to figure out what the moral of the story is. Should he have not helped the turtle? Was his mistake agreeing to go on the adventure with the talking turtle? Was his mistake not being grateful for all the "eat, drink, and be merry" hedonism of the Dragon kingdom? Was it because he should have only stayed a short while? (A few days would have been like a year, and a month down there would already have been equivalent to more than 8 years up here.) Or... is there no moral to the story? Just... something magical with an unexpected, sad ending?
@@daemanuhr i was wondering that too, and what i found is, that you shouldnt let your family and friend behind you. if you realize it, it might already be too late. But yeah, this one is esspecially strange...
Wonderful story! It reminds me of the medieval fable of a monk who stops for what he perceives as a moment, on his way through the forest on an errand, to listen to a beautiful birdsong. When he gets to the monastery he was heading to, he discovers the abbot and all the monks he knew died many years ago. He had spent decades in ecstasy, listening to the birds! I past my N5 exam in July, and I understand nearly all of the story. こりは本当に悲しい話。
I also think it is pretty interesting that a 8th century story, played with the idea that time and duration is relative to the place you are. This is also what Einstein thought.
Imagine. You first lose your comfortable, enjoyable life in a castle all to check on your parents. Then you realize your parents aren't there, they're dead, because you've actually been gone for 300 years. So you're stranded in a town you once called home, your family is dead, your friends are dead, everyone is dead -- and you can't return back to the castle. Then when you thought it couldn't get any worse you opened the box and it did get worse. You lost your lifespan, too. Sad.
@@stephenbrown123 Yeah, right? That was his reward for helping out the turtle. Another thing, why on earth would you give someone a box as a gift, yet tell them never to open it? Thanks a lot, otohime! Seriously, though, this was great. The kanji were relatively easy and I got through this one with no problem. Love this series.
A very sad story! But it is great for learning Japanese. I really love the narration, so vivid. I can understand most of it though I have been learning Japanese for less than a year.
Great job with the turtle's voice! Beautiful presentation too with the pictures, size of the Kanji, size of the hiragana, great layout. Thank you very much
I'm doing my reading practice and I want to do 1-3 stories per day. My reading is far behind my listening and I hope that i will improve during this October-November!
@@しのせんせい I watched it once and found the ending sad. Next time I watch it again I will look past this and try to think about the mystery. 😉 Thank you for providing us learning materials.
Hi, great work. Thank you for your effort. However can you please put scripts below like some of the other stories? Helps a lot to learn Japanese! Thanks.
De alguna manera logré entender la historia en su totalidad. Eso se explica gracias a la cantidad justa y efectiva de los recursos didácticos presentes en el vídeo para abstraerse en la historia. Al final sentí una gran tristeza por el pescador y sus recuerdos familiares en su tierra natal. Muchas gracias
practice more in reading I also couldn't keep up with reading but I understood more just listening to it, my listening skills are like a few times better than reading in Japanese, hope I will balance them soon
why is everyone so vague in these stories. If she just told tarou what was in the box he wouldnt have grown old. Also if they told him that if he stayed in the palace for a long time literal centuries would pass, none of this would have happened. Im pissed at the fish people lol
Once upon a time there was a kind fisherman in one place. The name is Taro Urashima. One day, about six children gathered and were bullying a turtle on the beach. Taro felt sorry for him. "Everyone, don't do that." "Noisy" children never stop kicking or flipping turtles. Taro felt more and more pitiful. "I'll give you money, so sell the turtle." "Then you can sell it." Taro bought a turtle from the children and returned it to the sea. A few years later, while catching fish in the sea, Taro heard a voice calling himself. I did. "Taro-san, Taro-san" When you look at it, a turtle is swimming near the ship. "I am a turtle that you helped me a few years ago. I came to thank you. I swam down and down. After going down a long way, I suddenly saw a big palace on the bottom of the sea. was. Let's take you to Ryugu Castle. Ride me. "Taro terrifiedly rode a turtle. The turtle takes Taro into the sea and "Taro-san, this is Ryugu Castle." Taro got off the turtle. "Come on, here." The turtle guided Taro into Ryugu Castle. Since it is in the sea, many fish of various colors are swimming here and there. Beautiful in the back There was a nice woman. This is Otohime-sama. "Taro-san, I'm Otohime. Thank you for helping my turtle. increase. Please play slowly here. " As Taro said, he ate a lot of treats, drank a lot, sang and danced, and had a good time. "Taro-san, next time, look at the seasonal room." Otohime opened the eastern door. It was spring outside the eastern door. Otohime then opened the south door. It was summer outside the south door. It was autumn outside the west door. And it was winter outside the north door. Taro was gradually dumbfounded and forgot everything.
Thanks a lot,for this beautiful program,I am learning Japanese by myself.i am grateful to your efforts and I love to know you ,I mean to get in contact with you by Instagram or Facebook please.
本当に悲しい物語です。私の子供の頃のクリスマスの事です。妹は「浦島太郎」って絵本をプレゼントとして受けました。浦島太郎は決して自分の家族と会えないと妹は分かった途端、妹は泣き出しました。そうしてクリスマスツリーの前に座った私たちみんなは太郎の厳しい痛みが感じさせられたのですね。
Moral of the story. Don't help turtles

@@jackbenimble999 lmao ikr? what the did he do to deserve this? What is even the moral of the story? 🤣
@@enzoh7151 moral of the story: some box better left unopened.
saying dead is a little too hard yk. Gone could be a better word. The way you are saying it is like they got killed
A very sad story! But it is great for learning Japanese. I really love the narration, so vivid. I can understand most of it though I have been learning Japanese for less than a year.

Good story and great narration:D!
He was gone for so many years, furthermore he opened the box. Sad ending.
Nice work though
Thank you for your comment.
It is interesting that Japanese consider this story is a mysterious story, while the foreigners think it is a sad story.
@@しのせんせい I watched it once and found the ending sad. Next time I watch it again I will look past this and try to think about the mystery. 😉
Thank you for providing us learning materials.
@@しのせんせい that's really interesting indeed! I also thought it was a sad story and I felt like he was betrayed. somehow.

11歳の外国人に教えるのに、この話しは難しいですかね？初級文法はひと通りおしえました。
why is everyone so vague in these stories. If she just told tarou what was in the box he wouldnt have grown old. Also if they told him that if he stayed in the palace for a long time literal centuries would pass, none of this would have happened.
Im pissed at the fish people lol
Haciendo cálculos, estar un día en el palacio del dragón, es equivalente a 100 días en la vida real. 何に！？
Jesus Christ, such a sad story! Don't mess with the spirits of the ocean...
What a depressing story
悲しいなあ

"Noisy" children never stop kicking or flipping turtles.

Taro bought a turtle from the children and returned it to the sea.
A few years later, while catching fish in the sea, Taro heard a voice calling himself.
I did.
"Taro-san, Taro-san" When you look at it, a turtle is swimming near the ship.
"I am a turtle that you helped me a few years ago. I came to thank you. I swam down and down. After going down a long way, I suddenly saw a big palace on the bottom of the sea. was.
Let's take you to Ryugu Castle. Ride me. "Taro terrifiedly rode a turtle. The turtle takes Taro into the sea and
"Taro-san, this is Ryugu Castle." Taro got off the turtle.
"Come on, here."
The turtle guided Taro into Ryugu Castle. Since it is in the sea, many fish of various colors are swimming here and there. Beautiful in the back
There was a nice woman. This is Otohime-sama. "Taro-san, I'm Otohime. Thank you for helping my turtle.
increase. Please play slowly here. "
As Taro said, he ate a lot of treats, drank a lot, sang and danced, and had a good time.
"Taro-san, next time, look at the seasonal room."
Otohime opened the eastern door. It was spring outside the eastern door. Otohime then opened the south door. It was summer outside the south door. It was autumn outside the west door. And it was winter outside the north door. Taro was gradually dumbfounded and forgot everything.
It was at the moment he knew he f***** up.
なんか かなしい ものがたり ですね。。。かわいそうな 太郎ーさん かめをたすけた でも かめとひめ は 太郎ーさん に しんじつのこと を 言いませんでした。
