| Sep 6, 2016 at 20:06 | comment | added | Hush | @Pleiades yeah, the way the Japanese treat religion as opposed to the West is interesting. It's very fluid with the way they will mix Shinto with Buddhism and even Christianity. :) | |
| Sep 6, 2016 at 18:58 | comment | added | Pleiades | Well, Shintoism isn't exactly a very defined religion, and there are only really three primary texts we can pull information from. I'm attempting to learn how to read Japanese calligraphy since I have a solid enough grasp on kobun, but I still don't think there's too much I'll uncover that others haven't. That site's going to be your best bet, as far as English resources go. | |
| Sep 6, 2016 at 18:36 | comment | added | Hush | @Pleiades yeah it seems a bit disheveled. But I hope to learn some new things :) it seems like there isn't that much information about this topic like in other areas of mythos/religion. | |
| Sep 6, 2016 at 18:32 | comment | added | Pleiades | @Hush564: It's one of my favorites for a reason. It's incredibly useful, albeit a tad unorganized. I think it'll serve you well though. | |

| Mar 12, 2016 at 5:14 | comment | added | Semaphore | @Hush564 You should also put that in the title, so that it matches the body of the question. I've edited and reopened for you this time but just keep that in mind if you ask more questions, thanks. | |

| Mar 11, 2016 at 20:52 | comment | added | Hush | @Semaphore I know of the creation story. I want the lesser known stories. Even if I put in "Are there any sort of chief pantheon, a la the Olympians, in Japanese mythology? Who do they consist of?" THAT is almost the same exact thing that I am asking for. A list of gods that people can pull from the top of their heads. I'm not asking for hours of research. Just interesting stories that I can go look up. Directing me to better sites a wiki page. | |
| Mar 9, 2016 at 10:12 | comment | added | Semaphore | @Hush564 The problem is that it is too broad and too based on personal opinions. An example of the sort of questions we usually want here is something like, "Does Japan have a creation myth and if so what is it?" Or perhaps, "Are there any sort of chief pantheon, a la the Olympians, in Japanese mythology? Who do they consist of?". You could you list some deities and ask how they are related, too; but asking for a family tree of the entirety of Shinto gods is a bit daunting. | |

| Mar 9, 2016 at 4:47 | comment | added | Hush | I'm just looking for more myths to learn more about how the Japanese tied them into their religion..? Its like asking for Greek myths to learn more about the Olympians. People can list of lots of Greek gods and their stories... I'm asking the same of Japanese gods....but I guess if someone feels like they need to change the question.. be my guest. | |
| Mar 8, 2016 at 23:32 | comment | added | cmw♦ | I voted to close this, however, I think with some tweaking it could work. I'll try giving it a thorough edit later and hopefully making this fit the StackExchange format. | |
