Japanese Ancient Origins (Collector's Edition)

This book is a companion to another installment in the Flametree series that explores myth and legend, this book looking at the history of Japan from prehistoric times to the end of the country’s Heian period. Through the vehicle of myth, legend, history and archeology, the author explores how Japanese culture evolved over time, the ways in which its culture developed itself into what it is today — such as how the art over history perdures stylistically to this day, how the veneration of Japanese icons such as Mount Fuji started, and how the aesthetic of Bushido and Shogunates were part of making the country it is today, with the culture it has today.
