Abstract
Whenever we talk about, short moral story collection, The Jātaka comes to mind for almost everyone. There are many more such collections like Aesop’s Fables, Hitopadesha, Panchatantra, etc. The moral stories are always in simple and easy language, and the characters used in these stories are familiar to the listeners or readers. As these stories have a long background of oral transmission, one can find an easily similar type of stories in other languages, maybe with some characters changed for the audience’s understanding
This paper will discuss the Nihonryōiki, the first collection of Buddhist short stories in Japan, and how this book helped spread Buddhism in Japan. It will also discuss the monk and the time frame when Nihonryōiki was compiled.
