Shinto & Japanese Mythology in anime


Long time ago, I watched an anime on TV in Brazil. It is called Little Prince and Eight-headed dragon (Wanpaku Ouji no Orochi Taiji). I was a child or teenager at that time. I could remember very well after so many years having been passed. Many characters of the anime came from Japanese mythology, a book called Kojiki, and in Shinto (Izanami, Izanagi, Amaterasu, Susanoo, Yamata no Orochi).

The anime was created is 1963. The music is unbelievably beautiful and you can get it in 9 parts on the links below. Enjoy it!
