On a recent journey across Japan, the author meets a series of remarkable personages, including an invincible Aikido Master, a modern sennin (forest sage) who offers him the tea of long life, and an extraordinary housewife who is the manifestation of the Supreme Buddha. A Visit to the Land of the Gods probes the origin and use of the pyramids and other ancient energy sources, cultural contact between ancient Israel and Japan, and the deep, underlying currents of history and civilization.
