I do not know why I ever expect something useful out of
essays regarding the differences between Western and Asian storytelling. As a
result, I am almost always disappointed to find the same points and arguments
made whenever I read such an essay; points and arguments which are disproven
with even a passing familiarity with myth, legend and storytelling traditions.
Since the essay which is provoking me is coming from the Legend of Five Rings
RPG section on storytelling, that’s where I’m going to be pulling some of the
points I’m planning to argue against.
