#japanese kami

[annelisreadingroom]

Do you have any books based on Asian mythology that you would recommend? I recently read A Mortal Song and I quite liked it. It's a story about Japanese kami who live among humans.

This Poster is so interesting

Okay, can we quickly talk about this poster? Because boy, this is interesting.

Maria's familiars are and always were inspired by Japanese/East Asian mythology. In the Games originally they were called Suzuku, Genbu, Byakko and Seiryu. We see Seiryu in the new trailer - I am assuming at least that the dragon we see is Seiryu.

But this here? This looks like a bear. I know, because I spent a good while obsessing over a certain bear. :P

No, but for real. This is very very interesting from the perspective of Japanese mythology. Because in the old Japanese mythology (aka pre-Heian) bears were thought to be manifestations of the gods. Something that still holds true for the Ainu mythology (as anyone who watched Golden Kamuy will have learned). But yes, originally the gods manifested as bears, with foxes as their messangers.

So, given that Maria's summons are all inspired by Japanese mythology, and I know that there are certain nerdy people in the crew, I am personally going to assume they are very much aware of this. Maria is summoning a god.

Sean bienvenidos mis queridos fanáticosarqueológicos a una nueva entrega de prehistoria Japónesa en esta ocasión nos trasladamos a la pregunta ¿Cuándo se originó el sintoísmo?. - Aunque parezca raro es una religión que se conformo durante el periódo Jōmon (17.500-300), para ser exactos a finales de dicho período y continua hasta nuestros días los dioses del sintoísmo, se les llama Kamis ( dios) ya que para los japoneses todo tenía un dios las montañas, ríos. - El sintoísmo tiene influencias chinas, coreanas de hay que tenga similitudes con el taoísmo, ¿Qué dos libros recogen la categoría de los Kamis? Son el Kojiki(713d.c) y el Nihonshoki(720d.c). - Espero que os guste y nos vemos en una próxima públicacion un cordial saludo. 🇯🇵 私の愛する考古学ファンを日本の先史時代の新作に歓迎します。今回は、神道がいつ始まったのかという質問に移ります。 - 奇妙に思えるかもしれませんが、縄文時代（17500-300）に形成された宗教であり、正確にはその時代の終わりに、今日まで神道の神であり、カミス（神）と呼ばれています。 日本人にとって、山や川にはすべて神がいました。 - 神道は中国、韓国の影響を受けており、道教との類似点があります。 カミスのカテゴリーに分類される2冊の本は何ですか？ こうじき（713d.c）と日本書紀（720d.c）です。 - よろしくお願いします。次の出版物で心からのご挨拶を申し上げます。 🇬🇧 Welcome my dear archaeological fans to a new installment of Japanese prehistory, this time we move to the question, when did Shintoism originate? - Although it may seem strange, it is a religion that was formed during the Jōmon period (17500-300), to be exact at the end of that period and continues to this day the gods of Shintoism, they are called Kamis (god) since for the Japanese everything the mountains and rivers had a god. - Shintoism has Chinese, Korean influences, and there are similarities with Taoism. What two books are classified under the category of the Kamis? They are the Kojiki (713d.c) and the Nihonshoki (720d.c). - I hope you like it and see you in a next publication a cordial greeting.
