Ghosts and the Japanese : cultural experience in Japanese death legends

Ghosts and the Japanese cultural experience in Japanese death legends

Mostrar otras versiones (3)

The Japanese have ambivalent attitudes toward death, deeply rooted in pre-Buddhist traditions. In this scholarly but accessible work, authors Iwasaka and Toelken show that everyday beliefs and customs--particularly death traditions--offer special insight into the living culture of Japan.
