Tales of Ancient Japan

Gods and goddesses, spirits and ghosts, heroes and beauties, emperors and commanders, holy miracle workers and sinful laypeople... "Tales of Ancient Japan" is a book that is interesting for both connoisseurs and admirers of unique Japanese culture, as well as for those who are just beginning to discover it for themselves. In the first section of the collection, readers are presented with the whimsical world of Japanese Shinto mythology. The second is dedicated to heroic-historical legends. The third consists of instructive fables, in which the folk imagination has whimsically refracted the moral-ethical and philosophical principles of Buddhism.
