Japan has given the world not only the cult of cherry blossoms, samurai ideals and amazing animation, but also an amazing mythology that permeates all layers of Japanese culture - from ethics and religion to manga, anime, design and traditional yakuza tattoos.
We agree that it is impossible to fully understand Japan and the mentality of its inhabitants, but the stories collected in this book will introduce you to the main characters and plots of Japanese mythology and folklore, with which the mysterious Japanese culture will become even closer.
These stories are the key to understanding the plots of Japanese art, particularly the Edo period, which revealed to us Hokusai, kabuki theater, and kaidan - scary stories of encounters with the supernatural. The bizarre characters, motifs and plots of traditional tales have migrated into popular culture, thanks to which Japan is known and loved all over the world.
