Japanese Myths & Legends: Tales of Heroes, Gods & Monsters

by J.K. Jackson (Editor) with an Introduction by Jun'ichi Isomae and Hiroshi Araki - £10.99  Flame Tree Publishing (2022)
hardback    ISBN 13: 9781839648892 | ISBN 10: 1839648899

Japanese mythology is delightful and enigmatic, full of spirits, gods and legendary creatures. It draws on Buddhist and Shinto traditions to explain the nature of the world of the island of Japan, the mystical Mount Fuji and the heavenly status of the long line of emperors. The warrior class of the imperial court, and the natural spirits of the countryside represent parallel and interdependent aspects of Japanese society, explored through ancient legend and folklore.
 
Flame Tree Collector's Editions present the foundations of speculative fiction, authors, myths and tales without which the imaginative literature of the twentieth century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential and most fascinating works into a striking and collectable library. Each book features a new introduction and a Glossary of Terms.
