Myths, Legends, or whatever you want to call them...

[Chakan]

Is there a good printed source or website on Japanese myths?

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

The following two links are taken from our database:

Japanese Mythology (http://www.japanreference.com/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?ID=2581)

Japanese Mythology (http://www.japanreference.com/cgi-bin/jump.cgi?ID=4636)

There's an excellent book by Nelly Naumann called "The Myths of Ancient Japan" (Die Mythen des alten Japan (http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3406411479/028-8588370-1549336)). It has been published in German and Spanish, but - as I just found out - unfortunately not in English.
