Description
A magnificent collector's edition. Legends of the Sea, Bells, Mirrors and Tea, Japanese mythology is captivating and enigmatic, full of spirits, gods, and legendary creatures. It draws on Buddhist and Shinto traditions to explain the nature of the Japanese island world, the mystical Mount Fuji, and the heavenly status of the long line of emperors. The warrior class of the imperial court and the natural spirits of the countryside represent parallel and interdependent aspects of Japanese society, explored through ancient legends and folklore.
Flame Tree collector's editions present the foundations of speculative fiction, authors, myths, and tales without which the imaginative literature of the 20th century would not exist, bringing the best, most influential, and most fascinating works into an impressive and collectible library. Each book includes a new introduction and a glossary of terms.
Fascinating titles and a very wide range of authors are synonymous with the Flame Tree Publishing brand.
