Status Updates From Japanese mythology

For what it is I believe it is a good guide. It's very cut and dry which I appreciate as a good starting point and covers a wide array of both Japanese myth and folklore but also the Japanese political climate at the time. Though the pages are very same-y with how the author provides the pictures and the way they are provided

For a book from 1969 I would say its a good starting point for someone who doesn't know much about Japanese Mythology (like me!!!). I would say its more an encyclopedia of Japanese Mythology and Folklore with some history in there as well.
