{"product_id":"2940149558070","title":"Myths and Legends of Japan","description":"PREFACE\u003cbr\u003eIn writing Myths and Legends of Japan I have been much indebted to numerous authorities on Japanese subjects, and most especially to Lafcadio Hearn, who first revealed to me the Land of the Gods. It is impossible to enumerate all the writers who have assisted me in preparing this volume. I have borrowed from their work as persistently as Japan has borrowed from other countries, and I sincerely hope that, like Japan herself, I have made good use of the material I have obtained from so many sources.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e I.
