A simple question: there is a short Japanese children's story

"the Inch HighSamurai". For various reasons, I am looking for a
Germanlanguage version of the story. Obviously, I ran the usual
searches, etc., but couldn't find it. It's entirely possible that, in
German, it has a different name.

So, does anyone have any idea if this story has been translated into
German, it'sGermanname and whether it's available online - either in
text or audio (or both)?

TIA

Thanks, muchan. I'll take a look at the site.
As to DYI translation - I would be happy to do that, but my German
simply isn't good enough. And, my German accent is even worse....
