Through provocative essays by specialists in different aspects of
Japanese culture, this book provides an historical and analytical
survey of the presence of Goddesses in Japanese audiovisual culture
from its origins to the present day. It shows how these feminine
myths are represented in Japan; not only as beneficial or creative
deities, but also the archetypal strong or dominant woman that
sometimes overshadows masculine figures and heroes, or as
influential figures. Therefore, it analyzes this rich dialectic of
the feminine and how the audiovisual culture has represented it
thus far in film, TV series, and video games made in Japan. While
many theories have been proposed to explain the presence of
Goddesses in Japan, this book's focus on audiovisual culture
explores how this corpus challenges the traditional conceptions of
the feminine as related to Goddesses.
