Myths and Legends of Japan
Description
Myths and Legends of Japan is a book by F. Hadland Davis, first published in 1912. This engaging volume offers a comprehensive overview of traditional Japanese folklore, drawing from ancient myths, religious beliefs, and historical legends. The book explores the tales of gods and goddesses, heroes and demons, and spirits and creatures that have shaped Japanese cultural identity for centuries. Interwoven with references to Shinto and Buddhist traditions, it reflects a deep fascination with the symbolic and spiritual life of Japan. Written in a narrative style accessible to Western readers of the early 20th century, the work serves both as a collection of stories and as a window into Japan’s mythological landscape. It contributed to early Western interest in Japanese culture during a period of growing international curiosity, and it remains a valued reference for those interested in the mythic foundations of Japan's literary and artistic heritage.
