Description
The Nihongi Chronicles of Japan from the Earliest Times to A.D. 697 This comprehensive work of Japanese history is one of the oldest and most detailed records of the country's early years. Written in classical Chinese, it provides a unique insight into the mythology, politics, and culture of ancient Japan. The book begins with the creation myth and follows the story of the first seven generations of divine beings, before moving on to the events of the 8th century. Compiled by Yasumaro no O, a Japanese nobleman and chronicler, with the assistance of Hieda no Are, this work is considered an important tool for historians and archaeologists. It includes the most complete historical record of ancient Japan, covering the reigns of Emperor Tenji, Emperor Temmu, and Empress Jito, as well as diplomatic contacts with other countries. The Nihongi was finished in 720 AD under the editorial supervision of Prince Toneri.
