Chinese and Japanese Myths

By Jen Green

Book Overview

The earliest myths of China date from around 3,000 years ago. They were weaved into the local belief systems--Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism--and later transported across the sea to Japan, where they were adapted into the local religion, Shinto. This book explores the rich offerings of Chinese and Japanese myths.
