Details

Very useful book covering Japanese mythology as it evolved throughout history. The author outlines a historical survey of the subject and then delves into the belief systems around various Japanese deities, folkloric creatures and spirits, and heroes and heroines. This reference is very helpful when exploring Ukiyo-e, as often print artists depicted the very stories explained in this text.
