Introduction to Tawara Toda: My Lord Bag of Rice

Apuntes

My Lord Bag of Rice Long, long ago, there lived in Japan a brave warrior known to all as Tawara Toda, or My Lord Bag of Rice. His true name was Fujiwara Haidzato, and there is a very interesting story of how he came to change his name. One day, he went out in search of adventures because he had the nature of a warrior and could not bear to be idle. So, he picked up his two swords, took his huge bow—which was much taller than himself—in his hand, strapped his quiver on his back, and started out.
