Kojiki by Keith Yatsuhashi (English) Paperback Book

Description: Kojiki by Keith Yatsuhashi, Thomas Walker A young woman travels to Japan to fulfill her fathers dying wish and stumbles into a mythic struggle between divine forces. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Every civilization has its myths. Only one is true.When eighteen year old Keiko Yamadas father dies unexpectedly, he leaves behind a one way ticket to Japan, an unintelligible death poem about powerful Japanese spirits and their gigantic, beast-like Guardians, and the cryptic words- "Go to Japan in my place. Find the Gate. My camera will show you the way."Alone and afraid, Keiko travels to Tokyo, determined to fulfil her fathers dying wish. There, beneath glittering neon signs, her fathers death poem comes to life. Ancient spirits spring from the shadows. Chaos envelops the city, and as Keiko flees its burning streets, her guide, the beautiful Yui Akiko, makes a stunning confession - that she, Yui, is one of a handful of spirits left behind to defend the world against the most powerful among them- a once noble spirit now insane. Keiko must decide if she will honour her fathers heritage and take her rightful place among the gods.File Under-Fantasy Gods and Guardians | A Fathers Secret | Longing for More | Cosmic Reinvention Author Biography Keith is inspired equally byThe Lord of the Ringsand TohosGodzillamovies.Kojikiis his first novel.He is Director of the US Department of Commerce Export Assistance Centre in Providence, Rhode Island.

Review "Great. Beautifully crafted; well-written, with a loving attention to detail. Among the best of its genre."– Japanator"If you are looking for an exciting fantasy novel, I definitely recommend that you give Kojiki a try. You wont be disappointed."– Masquerade Crew"I had a great time reading this book". 5/5*– Bloggers Bookshelf"I would recommend this for anyone who enjoys character heavy work, or if youre looking for a fantasy novel thats outside the European/American-centric fantasy that you typically see."– Crosshatches"A unique spin on fantasy, a space where dragons and elementals war with each other over broken Tokyo – then this book is worth your time."– Sci-Fi & Fantasy Reviews"Recommended."– The Curious SFF Reader"Im a huge fan of books that send me on spiraling internet searches, digital walkabouts that start in one place, and wind up somewhere completely different. Kojiki is one of those books, spinning away from a neat, accessible introduction into an exploration of a myriad of creatures and the worlds to contain them."– B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog"In many ways, Kojiki is a metaphor for discovering your heritage and engaging with your roots, especially as a second-generation immigrant. Rooting the novel in Keikos real world, relatable struggles gives the story depth and helps anchor its wonderful flights of fancy."– Fantasy Faction"A win for Keith Yatsuhashi."– The Silver Words"I am a big fan of Anime and any book that makes me feel like Im watching an Anime movie…well it gets the immediate thumbs up from me!"– Fiery Fantasy"Definitely a fun read."– Its A Long Story"Kojiki is a fast-paced adventure story... readers may well be carried along with the excitement." – BFSA Review Quote "Great.
