This enthralling collection brings together 50 ancient tales from Japanese mythology, presented in a hardback gift edition with gold cover embossing and stencilled page edges.

The result is a fascinating collection of historical legends and magic realist tales from all over Japan, with themes including ghosts, unrequited love, Shinto landscape, tree and ocean spirits, samurai culture and tales driven by Bushido and Buddhist ethics.

This ornate hardback edition features gold embossing on the font and back cover, full-colour endpaper designs, ivory pages and stencilled page-edges, making a wonderful collectible edition for any mythology lover.
