Iwasaka, Michiko / Toelken, Barre
Iwasaka (Japanese, U. of Trier, Germany) and Toelken (history and English, Utah State U.) illustrate the ongoing traditions and customs surrounding the Japanese attitudes toward life and death by examining Japanese ghost legends and artwork portraying ghosts. Includes color illustrations. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
The Japanese have ambivalent attitudes toward death, deeply rooted in pre-Buddhist traditions. In this scholarly but accessible work, authors Iwasaka and Toelken show that everyday beliefs and customs--particularly death traditions--offer special insight into the living culture of Japan.
