This is a smart and succinct guide to the rich tradition of Japanese mythology, from the earliest recorded legends of Izanagi and Izanami, their divine offspring and the creation of Japan, to medieval tales of vengeful ghosts, through to the modern-day reincarnation of ancient deities as the heroes of mecha anime. While many around the world love Japans cultural exports, few are familiar with Japans unique mythology - enriched by Shinto, Buddhism and regional folklore. Mythology remains a living, evolving part of Japanese society, and the ways in which the people of Japan understand their myths are very different today even from a century ago, let alone over a millennium into the past. Offering much more than any competing overview of Japanese mythology, The Japanese Myths not only retells the ancient stories but also considers their place within the patterns of Japanese religions, culture and history, helping readers to understand the deep links between past and present in Japan, and the ways these myths live and grow. Joshua Frydman takes the very earliest written myths in the Kojiki and the Nihonshoki as his starting point, and from there traces Japans mythology through to post-war State Shinto, the rise of the manga industry in the 1960s, J-horror and modern-day myths. Reinventions and retellings of myth are present across all genres of contemporary Japanese culture, from its auteur cinema to renowned video games such as Okami. This book is for anyone interested in Japan, as knowing its myths allows readers to understand and appreciate its culture in a new light.

Los mitos de Japón nos asoma al abismo mágico de los albores de una civilización grandiosa, el mundo en sombras de dioses y héroes, en donde se esbozan los grandes temas y valores de la cultura japonesa. Directamente desde las tres grandes fuentes de la mitología y la prehistoria japonesas (Kojiki, Nihon shoki y Fudoki), Carlos Rubio selecciona 68 relatos clasificados en ocho ejes: desde la creación del archipiélago nipón, pasando por los mitos sorprendentes de casamientos y concepciones maravillosas, de animales que hablan, de amores incestuosos, de conspiraciones entre hermanos, de hechos marciales y de chamanes, hasta llegar a la introducción del budismo en el siglo VI. El rigor y la amenidad narrativa, facilitados por un documentado prólogo y notas donde se aclaran el origen de los mitos japoneses, convierten esta obra en un primer paso insustituible para el lector contemporáneo interesado, no sólo en mitos, religiones o historia, sino en Japón y en su fascinante cultura.

The Japanese have faithfully preserved their ancient myths as a connected and well ordered system. And as a system, Japanese myths say much about the human condition in the cosmos and about the human place in the cosmic order. Not until now has a book-length, English-language study been released on Japanese mythology. Drawing on his meticulous research, Asianist Peter Metevelis presents this selection of analytic essays that form a mosaic of themes on the primordial world of Japanese myth, adding a rewarding voice to cultural history and the history of ideas around the world. Metevelis shows that, contrary to popular belief, Japanese myths have much in common with other myths around the globe, and are mythically, logically, and symbolically equivalent. This suggests that Japanese culture has always resonated with the rest of the world and provides a valuable touchstone for comparative mythologists. The mythic themes Metevelis explores include: Linkage of birth with death Loss of immortality Containment of souls Effect of time on mortals Creation of the cosmos And many more This incomparable volume also includes detailed notes, bibliographies, and appendices to help further your knowledge of Japanese myth. Under Metevelis's expert guidance, you can expand your understanding of the Japanese myth system, its structure, and its principal actors, and immerse yourself in the ancient Japanese mysteries of the cosmos.

An introductory guide to the mythology of Japan—one of the most pervasive yet least understood facets of Japanese culture. Handbook of Japanese Mythology makes it easy to travel this vast yet little-known mythological landscape. The book reveals the origins of Japan's myths in the very different realms of Buddhism, Shinto, and folklore, and explores related mythologies of the Ainu and Okinawan cultures and recent myths arising from Japan's encounters with modernization. It then offers vivid retellings of the central Shinto and Buddhist myths, plus descriptions of major historical figures, icons, rituals, and events. For students or long-time enthusiasts, it is the ideal guide for investigating Japanese reverence for the sun, the imperial family, and the virtues of purity and loyalty. Readers will also learn why sumo wrestlers stomp before each match, how a fussy baby creates thunder, why Japan has a god for soccer, and much more.

People told Shinto myths for centuries before they were written down. When they were documented, they were written for the emperor, at his command. In this fascinating book, readers learn about the heavenly deities and Buddhist gods, and the myths about the birth of the sun and moon. Shinto gods and demons are described, and readers discover how the ancient traditions of Shintoism and Buddhism have influenced Japanese customs today. Clearly written, the narrative explains complex myths in a way that middle school readers can understand and enjoy.
