Synopsis

In ancient Japan, a tiny boy named Inchkin, no bigger than a lotus flower, dreams of becoming a great samurai. Armed with a needle sword and beetle-wing armour, he embarks on a daring quest. Along the way, Inchkin bravely protects a princess from fiery demons. His courage is rewarded by the Lord Buddha, who grants his deepest wish—to grow as tall as other men. This beautifully illustrated tale celebrates bravery, determination, and the magic of dreams coming true.
