Japanese mythology finally has its own dictionary of gods! Between history and folklore, Shintoism is a religion which mixes with various influences since its beginnings (political power, foreign religions, local folklore, ...). Its existence lasts and is embedded in a country in constant evolution. There are still today more than 80 000 Shinto shrines scattered throughout Japan.
With this book, discover the 200 most important gods and goddesses: their legends, the shrines in which they are prayed to, their descendants and even the primary purpose of their existence. Called Kami or Mikoto, the Japanese gods are still surprising you! 200 celestial, terrestrial and infernal deities have marked Japanese culture. Among them are about forty Emperors who changed Japan, before becoming gods to their ancestors. For yes! The Emperor of Japan, whether we speak of Jinmu Tenno (神武天皇) or even the current Emperor, holds his power from his illustrious divine ancestors.
How does Amaterasu help emperors during their conquests? How were the Japanese gods born? What is the true origin of the current imperial family? Questions with answers hidden in this book. Anecdotes, legends, stories, history, plots, ... These are all terms that characterize the History of Japan mixed with Shintoism.
The Dictionary of Japanese Gods is born after months of intensive research in more than 50 mythological and religious sources. In reality, a true bible for lovers of mythological stories or Japanese culture.
