    Extractions: OneLang Home Japanese mythology is an extremely complex system of religion and beliefs. The Shinto pantheon alone boasts a collection of more than 8000 kami (Japanese for "god" or "spirit"). Despite the influence of the ancient Chinese civilization, much of Japanese mythology is uniquely their own. It embraces Shinto and Buddhist traditions as well as agricultural-based folk beliefs. Moreover, unlike Greek Nordic and Egyptian mythology , it is very difficult to distinguish what is truly "myth" to the Japanese. This article will only discuss the typical elements present in western mythology such as cosmogony , important deities and the most well-known Japanese stories. Mainstream Japanese myths, as generally recognized today, are based on the Kojiki and some complementary books. The Kojiki or "Record of Ancient Things" is the oldest recognized book of myths, legends, and history of Japan. The Shintoshu explains origins of Japanese deities from a Buddhist perspective while the Hotuma Tutaye records a substantially different version of mythology. One notable result of Japanese mythology is that it explains the origin of the Imperial family , and assigned them godhood until the end of World War II Table of contents showTocToggle("show","hide")

So sure were they that it was God's providence that they enlisted him at once to become one of his retainers. As legend has it, Kintaro then changed his name to Kintoki and served his new master with legendary distinction... To this day, when a Japanese baby boy is born his room is often decorated on Boy's day (May 5th ) with a small Kintaro figurine symbolizing the ideal balance of the masculine virtue of great strength with gentleness. SUSANUO - From Dark Japanese myths and legends of gods and monsters Susanuo; a much more ancient variation of the universal thunder god legend from world mythology: One of the greatest characters from Japanese Mythology was Susanuo, the son of Izanagi. He was the god of thunder, fertility and agriculture, very similar to Thor and Zeus from western Mythology. He was cast out of heaven, and his totem was the serpent. He was a dragon slayer of the first rank and killed a great eight headed dragon. He was dressed in a large cloak to disguise his weapons and tricked it by getting it drunk by leaving out eight large bowls of saki.., ( a powerful Japanese liquor made from rice )

Within the myths can be found deified nature spirits, noble heroes, and ancestral deities, including numerous deities of both male and female gender. From within epic dramas woven around those deities, the Japanese people have learned how to live as human beings, and thus been entrusted with a core of faith.

    Extractions: Shintoism Portrait Written by Administrator Tuesday, 09 November 2004 by Naofusa Hirai Professor at Kokugakuin University, Tokyo (Emeritus); assistance was graciously provided by Professor H. Byron Earhart of Western Michigan University Shinto is the indigenous, national religion of Japan. It is more vividly observed in the social life of the people, or in personal motivations, than as a firmly established theology or philosophy; yet it has been closely connected with the value system and ways of thinking and acting of the Japanese people. Modern Shinto can be roughly classified into three types: Shrine Shinto, Sectarian Shinto and Folk Shinto. "Shrine Shinto" has been in existence from the prehistoric ages to the present and constitutes a main current of Shinto tradition. Until the end of 1945, it included State Shinto within its structure and even now has close relations with the emperor system. "Sectarian Shinto" is a relatively new movement based on the Japanese religious tradition, and is represented by the 13 major sects which originated in Japan around the 19th century. Each of the 13 sects has either a founder or a systematizer who organized the religious body. New Shinto sects which appeared in Japan after World War II are conveniently included in this type.

    Extractions: polska wersja It is extraordinary and unique that the blossoming cherry country had its mythology in written form in the first half of VIII century. It has remained intact to this day. However, it did not resist the foreign influences of the very powerful and influential neighbour - China. It has been visible in the first written version. We owe the intact part of the contents to the fact that myths were supposed to be a history of the imperial house and arbitrary interference would equate to high treason and uprising to the divine emperor. Later, the mythology has additionally been embraced by a philological basis. We can be thankful for the writing of the Japanese mythology to the political motives of the emperor Temmu. In 681 Temmu wanted to prove the superiority of the imperial family over the rich clans and assembled a commitee where he ordered to collect all myths in a solid whole. There weren't many problems with that as the priestly houses of Nakatomi and Imube have been passing on all of the myths from generation to generation. Temmu did not manage to live until his initiative was finished, which happened in 712 during the reign of empress Gemmio his successor. The composition has been called the Kojiki and has been written by court writer O-no Yasumaro.

Next A Little Word On Japanese Mythology.... This section is meant as a bit of a help to me and to you. If you visit this section, that means I don't need to write in brackets an explanation of what I mean every time I use a Japanese term. According to Japanese mythology, their are four worlds: Reikai, the spirit world, a sort of Heaven, if you will, Ningenkai, the human world, Makai, the demon world and Meikai, which is essentially Hell. Reikai rules over and governs the Ningenkai and collects and processes the souls of humans who die so that they can be reborn. Meikai use to perform the same function for the Makai, but according to Yu Yu Hakusho, a long time ago, Enma Daiou sealed away the realm of Meikai when the king of Meikai, Yakumo, tried to invade the Ningenkai. Now, demons are judged alongside humans by the Reikai.
