Japanese Myths & Tales: Epic Tales (2019) - Alan Cummings - książka

The rich tapestry of Japanese legends, from the mythical creation story of Izanagi and Izanami that seeks to elucidate the origins of Japan's islands to the multitude of kami and mythical creatures that inhabit these narratives, offers a detailed portrayal of the country's lands, its people, and the divine ancestry of its emperors. These stories, frequently filled with dramatic and otherworldly elements, are both engaging and thought-provoking. They are beautifully compiled in a deluxe hardcover edition as part of the Flame Tree Epic Tales series. This latest entry in Flame Tree’s elegant and expansive Gothic Fantasy collection delves into the ancient, grand sources that have shaped contemporary fantasy.
