*''Japanese'': 一寸法師 ''(issun boushi)''
Issun Bôshi ("One Inch Man") is a traditional Japanese folk tale about the adventures of a young man only about an inch (one ''sun'') tall. These included traveling across Osaka Bay in a rice bowl.
Like [[Momotaro|Momotarô]] and [[Kintaro|Kintarô]], Issun Bôshi was not a widespread story until the early [[Edo period]].
