A wonderful Japanese world populated by kami, yokai, and heroes is waiting for you. Begin your journey to discover their myths and legends.
Few people know the real foundations of Japanese culture, but if you too want to be part of this niche, this book is perfect for you!

Japanese mythology encompasses so many ancient stories and legends that have come down to the present day only through two sacred texts: the Kojiki and the Nihonji. These manuscripts recount the creation of the world and legends about the creatures that populate Japanese folklore.

Through knowledge of Japanese myths you will be able to understand the vision of the cosmos and life that this great Eastern country has.
