Japanese folklore and mythology From New World Encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Previous (Japanese cinema) Next (Japanese language) Japanese folklore are heavily influenced by the two primary religions of Japan, Shinto and Buddhism. Japanese mythology is a complex system of beliefs that also embraces Shinto and Buddhist traditions as well as agriculture-based folk religion. The Shinto pantheon alone boasts an uncountable number of kami (deities or spirits). One notable aspect of Japanese mythology is that it provided a creation story for Japan and attributed divine origins to the Japanese Imperial family, assigning them godhood. The Japanese word for the Emperor of Japan, tennō (天皇), means "heavenly emperor." Japanese folklore has been influenced by foreign literature. Some stories of ancient India were influential in shaping Japanese stories, though Indian themes were greatly modified and adapted to appeal to the sensibilities of common people of Japan. The monkey stories of Japanese folklore show the influence of both by the Sanskrit epic Ramayana and the Chinese classic “ The Journey to the West.

japan-culture/ikebana japan philosophy,harmony,minimalism,esthetic Japanese Mythology Japanese mythology is as beautiful and detailed as any of the creation beliefs in any culture. Japanese mythology is very similar to Greek mythology and even Ancient Egyptian mythology in their beliefs that the gods represent elements of nature. In Japanese mythology, Izanagi the first male created by the first gods is the sun. The flag of the country expresses this Japanese mythology with a red ball in the very center of a white background. The Japanese flag is called Hi no Maru which translates into the circle which is the sun. The red circle symbolizes the rising sun This rising sun in Japanese mythology is a rich story that begins when Izanagi is created along with the first female being Izanami. These original deities where given the Japan of creating the world, according the Japanese Mythology. They created the islands of Japan and took a bridge from heaven to the earths. Once they made a home on earth, Japanese mythology tells us that they wanted to mate. They built a palace in which to consummate their relationship. The woman spoke first at this consummation ceremony. Their offspring were cursed because of this mistake. According to Japanese mythology, they tried again, allowing the man to speak first and the produce children without any birth defects. These children they gave birth to were the islands of Japan. The female deity, Izanami, died giving birth to a child who would become the incarnation of fire. According to Japanese mythology, her husband, Izanagi was so distraught by her death that he went to the underworld to bring her back. He found her, but could not see her face when they first talk. Japanese mythology describes a scene in which he panics when he sees the horrible things death has done to his wife. She is hurt by his reaction and summons the demons of the underworld to attack him. He runs from them in a long drawn out chase that Japanese Mythology tells us that he almost lost several times. Izanami eventually managed to escape the underworld.

JAPANESE MYTHOLOGY The origins of Japanese Mythology are found in the Shinto religion, Taoism and Buddhism. It is based on a belief in demons, Gods, ghosts, and Spirits. Japanese Mythology also has strong agricultural based folk beliefs. The "Kojiki" (Record of Ancient Things) is Japans oldest book of mythology. Japanese Mythology is a very complex system of beliefs that embraces Shinto and Buddhist traditions as well as agriculture-based folk religion. The Shinto pantheon alone boasts an uncountable number of kami (Japanese for "gods" or "spirits"). Mainstream Japanese myths, as generally recognized today, are based on the Kojiki, Nihonshoki 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 Hotsuma Tsutae records a substantially different version of mythology.

D . 712, a written version of the mythology, the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters), was compiled for the Japanese imperial court. The tales in the Kojiki tell of the creation of the world, the origin of the gods, and the ancestry of the Japanese emperors, who claimed descent from the sun goddess Amaterasu. Another early source of Japanese mythology is the Nihongi, or Nihonshoki (Chronicles of Japan). Completed in 720, this work also includes various myths and legends, and it helps establish the genealogy of the imperial family The Nihongi was greatly influenced by Hachiman, one of the most popular gods of Japanese mythology, was the patron of warriors.
