The Magic Mirrors Of Old Japan - Silvanus P Thompson - Bog

Lovers of the Occult and the unusual will love this book.

It gives a deep insight into the ancient Japanese tradition of magic mirrors and their connection to the Sun Goddess.
In Japan mirrors had a peculiar place in society and spirituality. Mirrors were often decorated and surrounded with flowers like we see icons from the West decorated, and some of them are told to have magical properties.

This book digs into the special properties. It seems that due to an old technique some Japanese mirrors can present patterns or images, not to the onlooker but at the mirror?s reflection in the room, if the light source is just right.
