About this ebook
Why, you may ask, the collection is entitled «Heavenly River»? Itʾs easy: there is a famous myth in Japan. Every child in Japan knows it. It is about a shepherd and his beloved weaver who were separated on the opposite banks of the Heavenly River (the Milky Way).
Therefore, every year the Japanese celebrate the seventh day of the seventh moon (July) honouring fidality, love and patience. Everybody strives to distinguish himself in some craft or artfulness in poetry writing.
In the collection «Heavenly River» there are myths about creation of the world, the first gods and legendary emperors collected and retold in a clear way. There are also popular in Japan legends of the supernatural in Horai and kaidan style, stories and parables. With all my heart I wish you pleasant reading and immersion into the unique world of Ancient Japan!
