I know this isn't much, just had to do these before bed time.
I don't know if this is the place for this, but this might be helpful for you. I would strongly recommend in your research looking into an anime called 'Mononoke' ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mononoke_%28TV_series%29 ). Not only does it having a striking visual style, but it delves heavily into the myth and supernatural elements of Japanese culture. Furthermore, the fansub

contains notes on all these things, like what some of the symbolism that appears refers to, and the background of the supernatural creatures that appear for each episode, so is probably worth it for that alone even if you don't watch the whole thing. It's 12 episodes long so it is a bit of a time investment.
Hope someone gets something from this :D.
