I'm looking for recommendations of collections of traditional Japanese myths, legends, and tales in English. The bigger (well, the more comprehensive) the better. Thanks!

Lafcadio Hearn wrote a number of books covering Japanese fairy tales and ghost stories. You might want to take a look at those as a place to start.

Thank you for the suggestion. Kwaidan seems to be the most well known; which others do you think would be a good place to start?

Yokaiden by Nina Matsumoto is a nice book that will introduce some of the Japanese mythical beings. The main character meets and describes several Japanese spirit types. The second volume is due out soon.
Quick read (and not very serious) Yokai attack!- the japanese monster survival guide by Hiroko Yoda.
Japanese Fairy Tales by Grace James.

Yokai Attack! looks like a lot of fun. Is anyone familiar with Royall Tyler's Japanese Tales? (which is where the touchstone was pointing for Japanese Fairy Tales)

I just thought of another one, that I picked up after seeing it here on LT early reviewers (some lucky Americans picked it up for free, so loads of reviews on there from them). It is a set of really nice Japanese Ukiyo-e/ woodblock prints and the details of the traditional stories that are shown in the picture.
Utagawa Kuniyoshi: The 69 stations of the Kisokaido by Sarah E Thompson
Interesting that the touchstones on my last mail didn't work right. I don't have the Royall Tyler book but I've wishlisted it for now until I cen get hands on a physical version- it looks like a nice one. (Some sort of subliminal sales function the site coders put in? who knows!)

Now that you mention it, I do remember seeing Utagawa Kuniyoshi from a while back. I wasn't one of the lucky ones. :-) It looks like it's been pretty well received here on LT.
I should know better by now than to ask for recommendations...I always end up wanting to overspend my budget. LibraryThing is a dangerous place.
Thanks again to everyone so far!

I have Royall Tyler's book and am happily amazed Harper allowed it. Good luck Phoenix. I am never lucky but would seem to have done some things Utagawa did ...

Old thread, but I'm surprised no one has mentioned Hayao Kawai.
