In the Land of the
Rising Sun, the Emperor asks a master carpenter to build a teahouse
in the Garden of Tranquillity. Permission is granted for the carpenter's
daughter to accompany him to work, but only after she promises to show
perfect behaviour in such a special place. This story deals with the
importance of promises and the sense of belonging to family and community
through one's work. Written in the style of a fairy tale, it gives the
child a simple introduction to Japanese culture.
