This tome is often said to be the Japanese "Bible"- of course, it is really nothing of the sort, and if read it expecting that you'll be a bit surprised. In form, it is more similar to Aesop's Fables. The books consists of some basic myths of Japanese Shintoism, and the stories are often entertaining and full of bodily fluids, all of which produce hundreds of gods. A nessecary text for anyone studying religion or Japan. ( ) The oldest surviving document from Japan. This is divided into three books; the first recounts myths concerning the creation of the earth and the acts of the gods, especially Amaterasu and Susano-no-wo. The second and third books give quasi-historical accounts of the acts of emperors, with increasing specificity towards the end. The student of mythology will find this interesting reading, especially the first book. The translation is scholarly, with elaborate footnotes and appendices offering contextual information. The Phillipi text is commonly regarded as the standard scholarly translation, supplanting an earlier work by Basil Hall-Chamberlain (the Hall-Chamberlain text was completed in the 1890s, and translated all the "unseemly" bits into Latin instead of English).

Japan's oldest surviving narrative, the eighth-century Kojiki, chronicles the mythical origins of its islands and their ruling dynasty through a diverse array of genealogies, tales, and songs that have helped to shape the modern nation's views of its ancient past. Gustav Heldt's engaging new translation of this revered classic aims to make the Kojiki accessible to contemporary readers while staying true to the distinctively dramatic and evocative appeal of the original's language. It conveys the rhythms that structure the Kojiki's animated style of storytelling and translates the names of its many people and places to clarify their significance within the narrative. An introduction, glossaries, maps, and bibliographies offer a wealth of additional information about Japan's earliest extant record of its history, literature, and religion.
