Monogatari

Monogatari (物語) is a literary form in traditional Japanese literature, an extended prose narrative tale comparable to the epic. Monogatari is closely tied to aspects of the oral tradition, and almost always relates a fictional or fictionalized story, even when retelling a historical event. Many of the great works of Japanese fiction, such as the Genji monogatari and the Heike monogatari are in this monogatari form.

The form was prominent around the 9th to 15th centuries, reaching a peak between the 10th and 11th centuries. According to the Fūyō Wakashū (1271), at least 198 monogatari existed by the 13th century. Of these, around forty still exist.

    Mango Tree

    by: Angus & Julia Stone

    I wish I had a mango tree
    In my backyard
    With you standin next to me
    Take the picture
    From her lips I heard her say
    Can I have you
    Caught up on what to say
    I said you do
    I said you do
    I said you do
    Through my eyes I can see
    A shooting star
    Weavn its way across the sea
    Somewhere from mars
    Down the street we would run
    To scratch our names in the path
    Young and free in the sun
    Wheels upon the tar
    I said you do
    I said you do
    I said you do
