Like a supernatural Senate, Japanese gods often gather in the dry bed of the Heavenly River. Too numerous to count, they are known collectively as yaoyorozu-no-kamigami—the eight million—and are the cast of a vast, complex mythology that encompasses two religions, three cultures, and three millennia, one whose ancient deities are still hard at work today.
Michael Ashkenazi is a professional writer and the author of numerous scholarly and encyclopedia articles on Japanese religion and culture.
