Description

Explore the foundational roots of Japanese identity through this scholarly study of ancient mythology. Before the westernization of Japan, mythological events served as the nation's history. This book examines how two primary documents, written over 1300 years ago, shaped the cultural and religious landscape of the country. By focusing on the 'Kojiki' (the Tale of Old Age) and the 'Nihonshoki' (the Chronicle of Japanese History), this work investigates how these texts functioned as sacred scripture. It tracks how both the Imperial Court and the general public looked to these writings to find their origins. Through the study of commentary and interpretation, you will see how these sacred books connected people to their historical beginnings and authenticated their cultural emergence.

Key Features

Investigates how mythological events were treated as national history before the westernization of Japan.
