Mythological Japan - Alexander F Otto

Excerpt from Mythological Japan: Or the Symbolisms of Mythology in Relation to Japanese Art
Having sought throughout the East, and especially Japan, for types of Oriental religious art, I always enjoy seeing in my mind's eye those mythological monuments which so often charmed me when it was my privilege to dwell among them. The authors having now shown me advanced sheets of their deeply interesting work, "Mythological Japan," I am convinced that those who have not the leisure or convenience to visit the charming country of the Mikados, are to be congratulated that in this exquisite work they may see that fairyland as in a mirror. The faithful and artistic manner in which many of the pictures are rendered is an important feature in this beautiful book.
