Description

Explore the Japanese folktale of The Crescent Moon Bear, a story that reflects on the dual nature of rage—one that corrodes and one that is essential to a woman’s life. Maria Souza unpacks the archetypes of the healer and magical animals, as well as the symbolism of the bear, the mountain, and the path of healing woven throughout this tale.
