Description

The Goddesses of Japan is a history-based book, entirely narrated by unsung heroines - a goddess, a sovereign, a mother, a wife, a warrior, a lover - who enacts in the forefront or moves in the background to influence the fate of the country, changing forever the fabric of its society. The Deities Izanami and Izanagi are appointed the Creators of the New World - the Land of the Rising Sun. A beautiful love relationship develops between them during the Creation phase, but fate sets them apart forever. Their offspring fight for hegemony over the land and Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess emerges victorious. Her descendants become the Rulers of the new world and founds the legendary Yamato Dynasty, in which every sovereign is invested with the Three Sacred Imperial Regalia; an act that makes their prerogative to the Chrysanthemum Throne unique and incontestable. Though, through the ancient times they make alliances with powerful aristocratic families and warrior clans in order to survive treachery and rivalries; with the emergence of the Samurai class, the Imperial House loses grip on state affairs and for almost a century and half, the country is engulfed in brutal civil wars. The sword becomes the law and the strong feeds on the weak in a dynamic interchange of power, where there is always one who is yet stronger than the strong. Stealthy agents called Ninja enter the scene, worsening the situation, yet help the process of reunification of the country. With the introduction of Christianity, the new rulers fear to become a European subject; hence, they isolate the entire nation from the outside world. After more than two centuries of seclusion, the political power is finally restored to the Emperor, who opens the borders, but perhaps it is too late for Japan to recover from its medieval slumbering...
