description
n accessible, entertaining, and highly informative exploration of everything from the kami holy spirits venerated in Shinto religion to the divine origins of the Japanese imperial family. Japanese Myths provides a clear, concise introduction to this fascinating if little-known world. Find out about Hachiman, the mighty god of war and the divine protector of Japan and its people. Marvel at Fujin, the god of the wind, a popular but terrifying demon--his bag of air is thought to move all the world's winds, and he is a powerful force of nature alongside his brother, the thunder god Raijin. See Hotei, the "Laughing Buddha" and one of the most well-known symbols of Buddhism--rubbing his belly is said to bring good luck. And enjoy the myth of Shita-kiri Suzume, or "Toung-Cut Sparrow," which explores the effects of greed, friendship, and jealousy.
