Yotsuya-kaidan



Hi, all.  Based on Quynh-san's request, I introduce you shortly.

Once upon a time, there was a maid in a Samurai's house in Yotsuya, Edo.
 (Now Edo is TOkyo.) Her owner (I think this expression is better to 
understand their relationships.) had a series of 100 dishies which were 
very precious and her owner treat dishes as jewel, and check the dishes 
everyday.

She was ordered to wash & clean the dishes everyday.  After cleaning, 
she count the dishes from one, two, ....... one hundred.

Alas, one day, she dropped the last dish in to the well. Her owner 
became ungry and killed her by Katana.

Then, everyevening, the maid appear from the well with the broken dish 
in her hand, and count from one, two, ......., ninety-nine, .... cry.  
She always dropping water from her body..

It is the overall explanation of the story.

By the way, in HCMC, I got CD of VN pagodas.  I got from book exporter.
