⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Poetic, Magical

Intensely beautiful art. Well researched, gorgeously illustrated. Worthy of framing. This book illuminates the imagination on how myths, legends, and gods were created from mortal emotions and experiences from the wisps of other worlds. This is the 3rd in the series I have bought and devoured and will keep for reference. A valuable tool for writers, researchers, and historians to piece together how and whence we came.

The clear portrayals make it fascinating to explore lesser-known deities and their origins. I highly recommend it for anyone interested in Japan’s rich mythic and supernatural tradition.
