Excerpt from The Robe of Feathers
Japanese Folktale
Mio Strand is in the Province of Suruga. Its sand is yellow and fine, strewn with rose shells at the ebb tide. Its pine trees are
ancient and they lean all one way, which is the way that the wild wind wills. Before Mio rolls the deep sea, and behind Mio rises
Fugi, the most sacred, the mountain of mountains. Small marvel that the Strange People should come to Mio.
Of the Strange People not much is known, even at Mio, though it is sure they come there. It seems they are shy indeed, more's
the pity. They come through the blue air, or across the mysterious paths of the sea. Their footprints are never, never seen upon
the wet beach, for they tread too lightly. But sometimes in their dancing they sweep their robes upon the sand and leave it
ribbed and ruffled; so, often enough, it may be seen at Mio.
