From the publisher

Myths of China and Japan is a comprehensive book that delves into the rich cultural heritage of these two ancient civilizations. Written by Donald A. MacKenzie, an expert in mythology, the book explores the fascinating myths, legends, and folktales that have been passed down through generations in China and Japan.The book is divided into two parts, with the first part focusing on Chinese mythology and the second part on Japanese mythology. Each section begins with an introduction to the history and culture of the respective country, providing context for the myths that follow.The myths themselves cover a wide range of topics, from creation stories and tales of gods and goddesses to stories of heroes and monsters. Some of the most famous myths from Chinese and Japanese culture are included, such as the story of the Monkey King and the legend of the dragon.Throughout the book, MacKenzie provides insightful commentary and analysis, highlighting the themes and symbolism present in each myth. He also draws connections between the myths and the cultural and historical context in which they were created.Overall, Myths of China and Japan is a fascinating exploration of the rich and complex mythology of these two ancient civilizations. It is a must-read for anyone interested in mythology, history, or world culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
