Does anybody know, or can recommend, any fantasy books that are influenced by Japanese folklore, mythology, etc...
Here is a list of books I already know about, and hope that there are more out there. I'm also looking more for a series of novels rather than a stand alone book.
Tales of the Otori Trilogy
By Lian Hearn
Across The Nightengale Floor (Book 1)
Grass for His Pillow (Book 2)
Brilliance of the Moon (Book 3)
Magic: The Gathering's Kamigawa Cycle Trilogy
By Various Authors
Outlaw: Champions of Kamigawa (Book 1)
Heretic: Betrayers of Kamigawa (Book 2)
Guardian: Saviors of Kamigawa (Book 3)
L5R's The Four Winds Saga
By Various Authors
The Steel Throne (Prelude)
Wind of Honor (Book 1)
Wind of War (Book 2)
Wind of Justice (Book 3)
Wind of Truth (Book 4)
I know there is a huge series by a Japanese writer, that is not manga, that is currently being translated and released here in the States. I want to say it's around 20+ volumes, with only the first handfull of them translated into English so far. I'm clueless on the series or author and couldn't find the books again at Barnes and Noble. Any help on figuring out this series would be much appreciated.
Thanks
