Ancient Japanese Mythology Made Sexy
Summary
Get to know the enchanting history of Japan from a distinctly intriguing angle.... Japan has always been a source of fascination, especially for the Western world. It has such a unique culture, brought about by years of isolation from the rest of the world. This isolation gave the Japanese the opportunity to fully develop its identity as a nation. As a result, Japan has its own special brand of tradition and quirk that grabs our attention and sparks our curiosity. They have given us such iconic modern characters, like Hello Kitty, Pokemon, and Godzilla, that are popular with adults and kids alike. And yet, their age-old traditions, like the samurai and the geisha, still captivate us to this day. No wonder there are so many Japanophiles from all over the world!

Or maybe it was when you first discovered that your favorite horror movie was actually from Japan. Regardless of what first caught your eye, you were engrossed, and now you can’t get enough of anything Japanese. Because of the popularity of so many Japanese creations, its mythology is perhaps one of the least known aspects of Japanese culture. If you ask a random person to name a single god from Japanese myths, they probably wouldn’t be able to answer you.
