Really interesting read. Lacks pictures, but worth the sacrifice.
I've really started to enjoy reading this. It's really in depth about many aspects of Japanese mythology. It does have a couple pictures to match but not as many as I hoped. but isn't much of an issue. Would highly recommend. Very informative.

Best book I own on the subject
The book is actually a glossary about the different God's. But the introduction part is very interesting. It may be a little difficult to read if you have no knowledge on the subject but it's extremely well documented and it even gives you insight on Japanese society today. I live in Japan and my friends are sometimes amazed at my knowledge, mainly thanks to this book. I totally recommend it

Great insight into Japanese culture.
Great for people in academics or have a deep interest in Japan. This is an academic book, so if you don't like reading it is not the book for you.
