 note = {In this article, I will show how Könoike Tomoko's visual representations of 
the girl, the wolf, and the woods rework traditional stories about the heroine's 
encounter with a wild animal in the woods, of which "Little Red Riding Hood" 
is probably the most famous. This article is based on the last chapter of my 
book From Dog Bridegroom to Wolf Girl: Contemporary Japanese Fairy-Tale 
Adaptations in Conversation with the West (2015); "wolf girl" in the title refers 
primarily to Könoike's images. My analysis of her works intends to illustrate how 
contemporary Japanese art may interact with the Western fairy-tale tradition in 
mutually illuminating ways. 
I am not arguing that Könoike's works explicitly refer to any specific fairy 
tales. Rather, I will show that interpreting Könoike's visual images from the 
perspective of feminist fairy-tale criticism will open up new possibilities for 
reinterpreting and reimagining Little Red Riding Hood's encounter with the 
wolf in the woods, a motif which has been reworked by many feminist writers 
and critics in the West, beginning with Angela Carter's seminal retellings in The 
Bloody Chamber and Jack Zipes's groundbreaking collection The Trials and 
Tribulations ofLittle Red Riding Hood (1983). I will analyse how Könoike's fairy- 
tale art complicates the binary oppositions between human and animal, male 
and female, and human society and nature that underpin many canonised fairy 
tales. I will also argue that her ongoing collective art projects combining art, oral 
storytelling, and handicrafts are an attempt to reconnect the storyvvorld to the 
actual lives of people who have been telling and retelling their individual and 
communal stories to each other, constituting an artistic and social practice which 
reorganises and revitalises the dynamic relationship among stories, storytellers, 
and audiences.},
