Loved this book, gives you an inside look at Japanese culture and how they deal with death.
This book is a great resource. Individuals familiar with Japanese culture will find this book insightful and enjoyable.
"Ghosts snd the Japanese: Cultural Experience in Japanese Death Legends" is a scholarly text that seeks to do more than catalog a few fine Japanese ghost legends, but also to undertake a serious study of those legends in the context of Japanese culture.The book basically consits of three articles.
Not only is this a very readable text, but the hauntingly beautiful illustrations pulled from a variety of sources add a very special touch. One learns so much of Japanese culture in reading this work.
