Japanese Mythology
Back Cover Text (From the Promotional Bulletin)
Did you know that the Japanese believe that their intestines are longer than other people's and therefore they are different from other races? Or that people are still afraid of a kami eating their belly buttons? So, why might many still refuse to eat pomegranates? What is the reason why foreigners are afraid of the idea of settling in Japan permanently? How could the Japanese islands have been created?
The Japanese mythological universe opens the doors to a completely different world, with its eight million divine beings, from the kami responsible for spreading smallpox to the scholarship kami, from the rice deity to the evil spirits responsible for psychological disorders, and with its stories blended with Buddhist influences. The fascinating atmosphere and interesting beliefs of the Far East come together in this book.
