{"product_id":"issun-boshi","title":"Issun Boshi","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis classic Japanese fairy tale tells the story of Issun Boshi, the tiny son of an old, long childless couple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTiny and brave--these are the two most striking characteristics of Issun Boshi. His mother had longed to have a child for so many years that she finally added \"even if it is a very small one\" to her wish. When the elderly couple did in fact bear a son, he turned out to be only one inch high. He was thus called Issun Boshi, Japanese for one-inch boy. Although his parents raised him very lovingly, Issun Boshi realized one day that he would not grow any taller. He then left his home to set off on a journey to find his place in the world. Because he saw himself as a swordfighter, a samurai, he made sure to take along the right equipment: a needle was his sword, a soup bowl was his boat, and a chopstick was its rudder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs in any proper fairy tale, Issun Boshi is tested in several adventures. He handles himself so bravely that, in the end, he is rewarded with just the right princess.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gestalten","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44106889035841,"sku":"9783967048001","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/3179\/3984\/files\/Issun-Boshi.jpg?v=1782880799","url":"https:\/\/qagoma.store\/products\/issun-boshi","provider":"QAGOMA Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
