Reseña del libro "Kojiki: Fully Revised Edition. Records of Ancient Matters (Revised and with a New Foreword)"

The classic story of Japan's national origins in a new and fully updated edition.

The first accessible English version of the KojikiJapan''s foundational text!

The Kojiki is the classic of Japanese classicsa foundational text for Japanese history and literature and for the Shinto religion. This literary masterpiece has shaped Japanese thought and culture for a millennium and continues to be influential today. Its vivid storytelling style, tales of supernatural interventions in human affairs, and powerful depictions of human emotions continue to inspire countless works of poetry, drama and art.

Central to the story are the primordial deities Izanagi and Izanami, their role in creating the Japanese islands, and the birth of divine beings who established Japan''s imperial bloodline. These elements form the spiritual basis for Shinto, Japan''s original religion. The divine origins of the imperial family reinforced their sacred status and right to rule the nationa concept that has shaped Japan''s political structures for many centuries.

In this new and vastly improved edition, the English text has been improved and Japanese characters and place names have been modernized. Latin versions of "racy" passages in the earlier editions have been rendered into English. Footnotes have been shortened and edited for their relevance to modern readers. The result is a truly accessible edition of the Kojikia book which remains a cornerstone of Japan''s national identity, offering a window to ancient beliefs and customs that continue to define the Japanese people today.
