Peach Boy - A folktale from Japan

This is the story of young Momotaro, whose name literally means Peach Boy. The story is one of the most popular from Japanese folklore. 

The story follows a theme of unification, demonstrated by how Momotaro, the dog, the monkey, and the pheasant are able to work together to defeat a seemingly overwhelming force of ogres. The species are able to overcome their differences to achieve a common goal, showing how people are stronger when we work together.
