Kachi-kachi Yama
Kachi-kachi Yama (かちかち山; kachi-kachi being an onomatopoeia of the sound a fire makes and yama meaning "mountain", roughly translates to "Fire-Crackle Mountain"), also known as Kachi-Kachi Mountain and The Farmer and the Badger, is a Japanese folktale in which a tanuki is the villain, rather than the more usual boisterous, well-endowed alcoholic. == Story == === The trouble-making tanuki === As the story goes, a man caught a troublesome tanuki in his fields, and tied it to a tree to kill and cook it later.
