- rubin55 4y agoGreat book, just finished it for the second time. Also recommend (both on Gutenberg btw) "Japan: An attempt at interpretation" (https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/5979 https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/5979) and "Tales of Old Japan" (https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/13015 https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/13015) Especially "Japan: An attempt at interpretation" I found remarkable, It really struck a cord and goes in-depth on cultural expectations and habits in Kami (villages). "Tales of Old Japan" is a great collection of mythological tales.
