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.

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.
