The Princess Nun - Bunchi Buddhist Reform and Gender in Early Edo

The Princess Nun - Bunchi Buddhist Reform and Gender in Early Edo Japan (Hardcover) - Gina Cogan Product Description

Anansi is invited to three concurrent parties and wants to attend them all. He gives each of his hosts a rope to tug, ties the other end around his own waist, and waits to be summoned when the food is served -- but when all of the food is ready at the same time, Anansi is caught in the middle! That's why Spiders have small waists today.
