100 Leyendas de la Mitología Japonesa

Collected in the Kojiki and the Nihon shoki by imperial order at the threshold of the 6th century, Japanese mythology preserves the memory of the archaic culture of Japan and constitutes at the same time a true repository of almost all the mythologies of East and Northeast Asia. In these 100 legends, Alain Rocher outlines a panorama of the richness and originality of this mythology, which has nothing to envy of those existing in Greco-Roman, Nordic or Hindu culture.
