Excerpt from In the Land of the Gods: Some Stories of Japan Preface the cities, but that no longer survives among the educated modern Japanese. For a fuller understanding of the mys teries touched upon in this volume, the reader is referred to the works Of Lafcadio Hearn. His book, Japan, an Attempt at Interpretation, is the most complete and sympathetic study yet made of the spiritual side of the nation, and the chapter Kitsune, in volume one of his Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan, relates in charming form the various phases of the fox belief.

HISTORY and mythology, fact and fable, are closely interwoven in the texture of Japanese life and thought; indeed, it is within relatively recent years only that exact comparative criticism has been able, with some degree of accuracy, to divide the one from the other. The accounts of the God-period contained in the Kojiki and the Nihongi-"Records of Ancient Matters" compiled in the eighth century of the Christian era-profess to outline the events of the vast cycles of years from the time of Ame-no-mi-naka-nushi-no-kami's birth in the Plain of High Heaven, "when the earth, young and like unto floating oil, drifted about medusa-like," to the death of the Empress Suiko, A.D. 628.

Excerpt from Old-World Japan: Legends of the Land of the Gods The first six tales in this little volume are founded on some of the most significant and picturesque incidents of this God-period. The opening legend gives a brief relation of the birth of several of the great Shinto deities, of the creation of Japan and of the world, of the Orpheus-like descent of Izanagi to Hades, and of his subsequent fight with the demons.
