| Abstract |
| Animism has an effect on human beings, and therefore it can be said a belief in spiritual beings controllable by consciousness, which may help polytheistic Japanese people believing in various gods, ancestor gods, and various spirits have religious spirituality of animism. Rather than believing in a certain god with an intelligible view of truth, their belief is characterized by animism in which they participate in religious rituals or activities for their own good.
"Shinsi(しんし)" appears the symbolic animals on behalf of the God which has contacts with the Human world. The symbolic animals are the root of religious identifications of the Japanese and they are many different animals from kinds of reptile to kinds of birds, or frim kinds of mammals to kind of the imaginary creature. And we can easily find the old stories about a special animal that has passed His will to a man in Japanese mythology.
Animism as a basis of their view of god can be said to be the root of religious identity deep inside of Japanese people. This study aims to examine the proximity between the Japanese view of god and East Asian myths, by comparing works of Miyajaki Hayao, leading artist of Japanese animation and Sanhaegyeong, representative myth and geography book of China as another important axis of East Asia.
If we find tales of the Korean God, and also research and develop the contents that are agreeable to the Korean sentiment by this research, Korean mythology will have the power to develop global cultural contents. |
