Reason(s) for nominating: Love this book! it doesn’t go too into the streams and groups that existed, or much of the characteristics of the art itself that identifies it as ukiyo-e or its symbolism, but it still gives a bit of intro to some of these things and there’s plenty of cultural references from what was drawn, cute explanations of what you see, sometimes there are also legends or characters that are known in very specific contexts and etc.

the japanese myths include all kind of f-ed up things just like the greek one does and just like old religious stories in general tbh

Reason(s) for nominating: I’ve been wanting to read on about 古事記 for a ling time now and bought this version a while ago, a.k.a trying to invovle others to kick my own butt
