Japanese Mythology

The world of Japanese mythology has long gone beyond the once-isolated islands and has become an integral part of global popular culture. Who are really Susanoo, Amaterasu, and Tsukuyomi, known to many from the shōnen "Naruto"? What myth underlies the cult anime "Sailor Moon" and the adventures of princess Kaguya?

You will learn about the main myths, heroes, and rituals of Japanese mythology and see how mythological images continue to live — from Shinto shrines to manga, anime, and video games.

Briefly, clearly, and with interest — for everyone who wants to understand this unusual world without long introductions.
