Book excerpt: It was meant to be a relaxing school trip. It turned out to be a death trap. Reiko Bergman and her friends are on a high school trip to the island of Hokkaido, in northern Japan. Sapporo city is host to the world-famous Snow Festival, where giant ice statues and sculptures are on display to the public. They think they are out of danger. They think the Jewel, the third Imperial Treasure of japan, is safely protected. They think the Kagetori have given up their quest for revenge. But then they realize they are being tracked through the snow-covered streets by shadowy assailants ... An impenetrable force field appears around Sapporo city center, trapping Reiko and hundreds of people inside. The ice statues come to life, animated by one purpose; kill Reiko and anyone else who knows of the existence of the Jewel. The Snow Festival has become a death trap. The stakes have never been higher ... the evil has never been colder ... and when Reiko finally discovers who is really behind the chaos, she finds herself at the edge of defeat, powerless to prevent the death of one of her friends ... " ... combines the pace of a modern science fiction/fantasy novel with an authentic recreation of the atmosphere, society, history and mythology of Japan." - John Stroter Cairns, director of independent film "Schoolgirl Apocalypse."

Traveling from Norway to the Philippines, Iceland to South Africa, he places pieces of a sacred Shinto sword in key power spots around the world.

The Sword of Heaven tells the extraordinary true story of a journey in which all boundaries are pushed—geographical, cultural, and personal—and in which the healing of the world and the healing of one man appear to be inextricably linked.

Download or read book Proving the Way written by Mark McNally and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Kokugaku, or nativism, was one of the most important intellectual movements from the seventeenth through the nineteenth century in Japan, and its worldview continues to be influential today. This scholarly endeavor represented an attempt to use Japanese antiquity to revitalize what many saw as a society in decline. One important figure in this movement was Hirata Atsutane (1776-1843), a center of controversy in his own lifetime. Even though Atsutane’s version of nativism came to be the standard form, many modern scholars dismiss him because of his scholarly shortcomings. The primary goal of this book is to restore historicity to the study of nativism by recognizing Atsutane’s role in the creation and perpetuation of an intellectual tradition that remains a significant part of Japanese history and culture. Arguing that conflict among scholars and intellectuals begets ideas, Mark McNally shows that nativism was rife with internal competition. The mid-nineteenth-century suppression of this multiplicity of views led to the emergence of what we now think of as ""nativism."" By focusing on the competition among the rival strands of nativism, McNally demonstrates that nativism resulted not from Atsutane’s conscious attempt to formulate a new intellectual tradition but from his greater political skills at putting his views across. "
