## What is The Ogre of Rashōmon?

Improve your Japanese reading with the classic folk tale 'The Ogre of Rashōmon' (羅生門の鬼). This app gives you a side-by-side bilingual reading experience — natural Japanese with its English translation, sentence by sentence.

Follow the story of the warrior Watanabe no Tsuna, who cuts off the arm of the demon haunting Rashōmon gate. With built-in vocabulary lookups, audio, and furigana-style readings, it's a perfect way to practise reading Japanese while enjoying a timeless tale.
