=== Seki's version in English === The tale of "Urashima Taro" in [[Keigo Seki]]'s anthology (translated into English 1963), was a version told in [[Nakatado District, Kagawa]]. In this variant, Urashima is localized as being from "Kitamae Oshima". It incorporates both the motif of the turtle being caught while fishing, and that of Urashima transforming into a crane at the end, which are found in the ''Otogizōshi''. Here, it was a {{nihongo|three-tiered jeweled hand-box|三重ねの玉手箱|mitsugasane no tamatebako}}, that is to say, a stacked box<!--see {{nihongo||重箱|jūbako}}); not a three-drawered box--> that was given to Urashima. When he opened the lid, the first box (on the top) contained a [[crane (bird)|crane]]'s feather, and the second a puff of white smoke that turned him into an old man, and the third a mirror, which made him see for himself that he had suddenly grown old. The feather from the first box then attached itself to his back, and Urashima flew up to the sky, encircling his mother's grave.<ref>{{harvp|Seki|1963|pp=111–114}}, reprinted in: {{harvp|Tatar|2017|pp=167–171}}</ref>
