About This Item
1746 Japanese History Mythology gods Samurai Dragons Demons Illustrated 7v SET
A rare, 18th-century Japanese woodblock print of 'Nendaiki Esho." "Nendaiki Esho" is a historical chronology of Japan from which most of the setsuyoshu were based. It blends legend and history presenting the first emperors and the mythical beginnings of gods and the earth as historical facts. This "Nendaiki Esho" was the primary means by which the commoners learned about the gods of Japan rather than the Nihon Shoki or the Kojiki and was an important part of curriculum in Japanese school until 1945.
This rare 1746 historical narrative contains events such as the separation of the heavens and the earth, the hero Hasubi on his way to Korea, the divine winds that hindered Mongolian fleets from invading Japan, the last Volcanic eruption of Mt. Fuji, and many more tales focusing on bravery and the military skill of warriors. This 1746 edition includes illustrations of temples, castles, samurai, heroes, monks, lords, battles, gods, dragons, demons, fires, animals, and much more!

Synopsis
"My Heart Is Afraid that it will have to suffer," the boy told the alchemist one night as they looked up at the moonless sky."Tell your heart that the fear of suffering is worse than the suffering itself. And that no heart has ever suffered when it goes in search of its dreams."Every few decades a book is published that changes the lives of its readers forever. The Alchemist is such a book. With over a million and a half copies sold around the world, The Alchemist has already established itself as a modern classic, universally admired. Paulo Coelho's charming fable, now available in English for the first time, will enchant and inspire an even wider audience of readers for generations to come.The Alchemist is the magical story of Santiago, an Andalusian shepherd boy who yearns to travel in search of a worldly treasure as extravagant as any ever found. From his home in Spain he journeys to the markets of Tangiers and across the Egyptian desert to a fateful encounter with the alchemist.The story of the treasures Santiago finds along the way teaches us, as only a few stories have done, about the essential wisdom of listening to our hearts, learning to read the omens strewn along life's path, and, above all, following our dreams.
