The Stonecutter
''The Stonecutter'' is a Japanese folk-tale of unknown authorship. It is closely related to the themes of ''The Fisherman and His Wife'', a well known fairy tale collected by the Brothers Grimm. In the legend, a poor stonecutter takes notice of the lifestyles of those from higher in the social hierarchy and wishes to become them. Despite having his wishes granted, the stonecutter is still unsatisfied and later desires to become more powerful by embodying forces within nature. Eventually, after a chain of events, he ultimately realizes satisfaction with his place in society and nature as a lowly stonecutter.
== Origins ==
The exact author of ''The Stonecutter'' is unknown but the tale was already widespread in China and Japan before it was first translated by David Brauns in ''Japanische Märchen und Sagen'' (1885). Andrew Lang drew upon this source to publish his translation of the tale in ''The Crimson Fairy Book'' (1903). However, in Japanese sources the legend is said to be European, and the stonecutter's name is given as Hans. Variants appear across cultures and continents, including ''The Fisherman and His Wife'' by the Brothers Grimm.
