Myths and Legends of Japan
Myths and Legends of Japan (1913) F. Hadland Davis
Although I prefer Royall Tyler’s Japanese Tales (1987), this Dover collection is still well worth having if you like folk tales. There is a discussion and history of the Gods of Japan, as well as a section on Buddha legends, both of which were unfamiliar to me.
There was also a collection of fox legends, which immediately made me think of Erin, who loves fox stories.
