I am excited to read about Japanese Mythology! I've visited a few shrines and been to some festivals, so I am excited to see if there is anything I recognize in the myths.

I wish that the Native American unit had a section for Choctaw, I am currently taking Choctaw 3 and we have only covered a few cultural myths.

I had to choose a printing of the The Great Wave, it is probably the most iconic wood block print from Japan. It still impacts classic Japanese tattoos today.
