The Masks Of God, Volume 2 by Joseph Campbell
Oriental Mythology
A comparative exploration of Asian myth and religious imagination that traces how creation legends, gods and heroes, and ritual forms evolved across India, Southeast Asia, China and Japan; it examines recurring symbolic motifs—cosmic origins, the hero’s passage, death and rebirth—and the interaction of local folk patterns with large spiritual systems (Vedic/Hindu, Buddhist, Taoist, Shinto), arguing these myths reveal deep psychological and cultural structures that shape art, ritual, and social life.
