Summary "Tama: Japanilainen lemmentarina" by Onoto Watanna is a fictional novel written in the early 20th century. The story explores themes of cultural exchange and supernatural elements within a historical Japanese setting. The primary narrative revolves around Tojin-san, a foreign professor invited to teach in Fukui, Japan, and the mysterious interactions he has with a local legend known as the "kettu-naine" or fox woman. The opening of the book immerses the reader in the excitement and apprehension surrounding the anticipated arrival of Tojin-san in Fukui. The townspeople, including samurai and servants, prepare for this foreign professor while also fearing the rumored fox woman who haunts the region. As Tojin-san arrives amid snowy landscapes, he contemplates not only his purpose in Japan but also the strange and beautiful allure of the culture surrounding him. The narrative showcases his challenges in navigating Japanese customs, societal expectations, and the looming threat of the enigmatic fox spirit, setting the stage for a captivating exploration of identity and the supernatural as the story unfolds.
