Description

The Kojiki-den is a foundational work by Motoori Norinaga, first published in 2010. This English translation brings to light the nativist ideology and philological principles underlying Motoori's groundbreaking commentary on Japan's myth and song.

Book 1 of the commentary outlines the key elements of Motoori's contribution to literary theory, political thought, and linguistic investigation. A preface by Naoki Sakai provides context for the work within eighteenth-century discourse, while an introduction by Ann Wehmeyer offers insight into the development of Motoori's interest in the language of the Kojiki.

This edition offers a unique opportunity to explore Motoori Norinaga's vision and its significance in understanding Japan's self-image and cultural heritage.
