520			_a"Ye Magick Mirrour of Old Japan" by Silvanus P. Thompson is a scholarly discourse and exploration of the significance of mirrors in Japanese culture, likely written in the late 19th century. The work investigates the mystical properties attributed to Japanese mirrors, particularly their ability to reflect intricate patterns, and delves into associated historical, cultural, and mythical narratives. At the start of the text, Thompson presents mirrors as highly revered objects in old Japan, elaborating on their symbolic importance in Shinto temples and imperial regalia. He highlights how mirrors played a role in rituals, offerings, and myths, particularly emphasizing the legend of the sun goddess Amaterasu and her enchanted mirror. The opening portion sets the foundation for a detailed exploration of the unique craftsmanship of Japanese metal mirrors and their optical phenomenon, invoking a sense of fascination with these historical artifacts.
