About this book

300 LARGE-PRINT PUZZLES. 600 WORDS. EVERY GOD, HERO AND FOX SPIRIT OF JAPAN.

Most word-search books give you 100 puzzles about anything. This one gives you 300 — and every single word was born in a Japanese myth or folktale.

Travel the whole world of the old tales one puzzle at a time: the creator pair stirring the sea with a jeweled spear, the sun goddess hiding in her cave, Momotaro sailing for Demon Island, the crane wife at her secret loom, fox weddings in the rain, tengu fencing on Mount Kurama, kappa bowing by the river, the snow woman in the blizzard, Shuten Doji's demon fort — in big, comfortable large-print 15×15 grids.

Learn while you play: every hidden word comes with a one-line note — who the god, hero or spirit is, and what it does in the tale. By Puzzle 300 you will know Japan's myths the way Japanese children do. The 600-word pool was built for this book: not one grid word is recycled from the earlier Japan, Onsen, Food, Festivals, Place Names, Trains, Nature or Castles volumes.

Made to be solved: all 300 puzzles are computer-verified in two independent ways, so every hidden word appears exactly once — no printing mistakes, no impossible grids. Full highlighted solutions are printed at the back.

For paper and for pen: solve the paperback with a pencil, or open the Kindle Scribe edition and circle words right on the page.

The perfect gift for Japan lovers, mythology and folklore fans, anime and manga readers — and Mom, Dad, Grandma and Grandpa.

Inside: 300 puzzles · 30 myth & folktale themes · 600 words with notes · 3,000 word placements · verified unique solutions · full answer key
