Manners and Customs / Folklore / Ethnology
Kadokawa Sophia Bunko / The history of the negotiation between humans and snakes is long and deep. Various ethnic groups around the world know about the various folk related to snakes. It is abundant in Japan, too. However, unlike domestic animals and hunted animals, the use of natural snakes is not so diverse. Most of the snakes have been raised in literature and religion by humans. There are "Snakes as a culture" that humans have given various values through "Snakes as a Nature". Snakes are absolute others that have been hated and feared at times. This is an epoch-making book that tells from folklore magazines about the Bunyo world that such other snakes have brought to human culture. When it is published in a paperback, it is a definitive edition with a new theory attached as an explanation!
