Myths and Legends of Japan

An insight into the culture of the Japanese through their myths and legends. Quaint and poetic, humorous and horrifying, these myths portray gods and goddesses, heroes and warriors, brave men and beautiful maidens. So journey to the land of the gods where the great Kooboo Daishi will write upon the sky something of the glamour and magic of old Japan. We will witness the coming of mount Fuji, wander in the palace of the Sea King and, in the land of Perpetual Youth, watch the combats of mighty heroes, listen to the wisdom of saints, cross the Celestial River on a bridge of birds and, when we are weary, nestle in the long sleeve of Hie ever-smiling Jizoo.
