Hanasaka Jiisan
Hanasaka Jiisan (花咲か爺さん), also called Hanasaka Jijii (花咲か爺), is a Japanese folk tale.
Algernon Bertram Freeman-Mitford collected it in Tales of Old Japan (1871), as "The Story of the Old Man Who Made Withered Trees to Blossom". Rev. David Thomson translated it as "The Old Man Who Made the Dead Trees Blossom" for Hasegawa Takejirō's Japanese Fairy Tale Series (1885). Andrew Lang included it as "The Envious Neighbor" in The Violet Fairy Book (1901), adapting it from a German text in Japanische Märchen compiled by David August Brauns (the original German title being Der neidische Nachbar).
