MEMBERS & VISITORS:
Long, long ago in Kyoto, the people of the city were terrified by accounts of a huge, dreadful, and ugly ogre, who, it was said, haunted the Gate of Rashomon at twilight and seized whoever passed by. The missing victims were never seen again, so it was whispered that the ogre was a horrible cannibal, who not only killed the unhappy victims but ate them also. Now everybody in the town and neighborhood was in great fear, and no one dared venture out after sunset near the Gate of Rashomon. So begins this famous Japanese fairy tale of heroism and valor. Now at this time there lived in Kyoto a general named Raiko, who had made himself famous for his brave deeds. Your host, Binary Mouse, introduces Your Virtual World’s Campfire Tales Series in the hosted version.
