Summary
In this original Japanese folktale, an emperor has twin sons--identical in their looks, but as different as night and day in their personalities. Tozaemon is heroic, fierce, and hailed the greatest warrior in the land. Toemon is quiet, thoughtful, and… recognized as the wisest of the wise men. In order to determine the son that will succeed him, the emperor sends the twins on a quest for the five eternal elements. For grades 2-4 and older readers
