Straw Millionaire by Kiichi Okamoto in Kunio Yanagita's Nihon Mukashibanashi-Shu
The legend of the Straw Millionaire (わらしべ長者, Warashibe Chōja), also known as Daietsu or the Daikokumai, is a Japanese Buddhist folk tale about a poor man who becomes wealthy through a series of successive trades, starting with a single piece of straw.[1] It was likely written during the Heian period and was later collected into Konjaku Monogatarishū and Uji Shūi Monogatari.[2][3] It became popular during the Muromachi period.[4] It has become a common anecdote in Japanese popular culture.
