Japanese Folktales | The Owl Dyer

This story was initially compiled by Kunio Yanagita, the father of Japanese native folkloristics, in his 1963 book Japanese Folktales (日本の昔話). From what I could tell, it has been in the public domain since 2013. I had to translate it from native Japanese, as I could not find a prior translation, so please let me know if there's a better one out there. Thank you.

The background music is "Fluffing a Duck" by Kevin Macleod.
