1915 1ed Myths of CHINA and JAPAN Asian Mythology Ancient Legend Lore Occult



“Myths of China and Japan,” by Donald Alexander Mackenzie, is part of the early 20th-century “Myth and Legend in Literature and Art” series by The Gresham Publishing Company. In his book, Mackenzie explores the mythologies of these two cultures, proposing their interconnectedness and the shared influences from a variety of ancient tribes. Delving into a broad range of elements, from the unique symbolism of jade to the eclectic character of the Chinese dragon, Mackenzie takes readers on a riveting journey through the mythological landscapes of China and Japan. He dissects traditional myths, religious practices, and symbols, tracing their origins back to civilizations like Mesopotamia and Egypt. Mackenzie challenges the traditional view of China as an isolated civilization, positing instead that the country was significantly influenced by a multitude of tribes, each contributing to its complex cultural identity. Featuring 34 monochromatic and color plates, the book offers a rich overview of Asian mythology, its origins, and shared narratives.
