Reviews

[Simon]

This is a good reference guide to Japanese mythology. It contains descriptions of the major players in the Shinto and Japanese Buddhist pantheons, summaries of the main stories recorded in the Kojiki and other Japanese myths and folk-stories. It is well illustrated.

[Andy]

A good starting place for Japanese mythology. Lots of easy to read entries that are great to expand on for further reading.

[Claire Riffle]

A nice reference guide to Japanese mythology.

[María Eva]

Es un libro claro y conciso. No se observa tanto la mirada estadounidense, a pesar de que está allí. Es un buen libro para iniciar y cada entrada dice lo necesario.
