Japanese Myths
by Matt Clayton
BARGAIN
History
Rating: 4.9
Japanese mythology offers a fascinating lens from which to gaze upon the natural world. Through tales of heroic samurai, creepy vengeful ghosts, and deities that wield the mighty powers of nature, these stories and mythical figures emphasize the importance of humans living harmoniously with their surroundings.
It is often said that in order to understand a country’s culture and history, one needs to simply look at the stories they tell about the world around them. By learning about different kami and yokai, by examining the role both Shintoism and Buddhism have played in the shaping of myths, and by simply reading folktales and ghost stories, one can gain an appreciation for modern Japanese society. #ad
