	Kojiki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kojiki or Furukotofumi (古事記) is the oldest surviving historical book dealing with the ancient history of Japan.
		Kojiki begins with the very beginning of the world as it was created by the kami (deities) Izanagi and Izanami and ends with the era of Empress Suiko.
		The Kamitsumaki includes the preface and is focused on the deities that made Japan and the births of various deities.

	kojiki - index - shinto texts writings and religious literature
		Set in writing in 712 AD, the Kojiki is the Japanese for a group of ancient stories that would be otherwise translated as "Records of Ancient Matters".
		The Kojiki essentially begins with the beginning of the world, the birth of Gods and Goddesses, the creation of the islands of Japan, and the descent of the Gods and Goddesses to Japan itself.
		The Kojiki, along with the Nihongi, have defined Japanesis image, by the communication through literature of the most ancient of Japan's surviving mythology.

		According to Abe Sensei, the origination of Aikido exists in Kojiki which was written in the eight century.
		He also said with deep emotion that the translation of Kojiki is one of his missions in his life.
		According to Kojiki, from Abe Sensei’s explanation, during the Okuninushi-no-mikoto era, the countries of Isumo and Yamato nominated one person in order to achieve a conclusion to the war, and each was to measure his strength against the other’s.

	Kojiki -- Britannica Concise Encyclopedia - The online encyclopedia you can trust!
		The religious and ethical values of the Kojiki were rediscovered and reevaluated by Moto-ori Norinaga (1730–1801), who wrote the complete “Annotation of the Kojiki” in 49 volumes.
		If the history of the language were to be split in two, the division would fall somewhere between the 12th and 16th centuries, when the language shed most of its Old Japanese characteristics and acquired those of the modern language.
		Together with the Nihon shoki (Chronicles of Japan), the Kojiki is the first written record in Japan, and part of it is considered a sacred text of the Shinto religion.

		The Kojiki is considered the earliest historical record of Japan.
		The writing of the Kojiki was a particularly tricky task because the Japanese language did not have a written script.
		As a result, the Kojiki is written in a strange mixture of Chinese used both ideographically, phonetically, and otherwise to create Japanese.

	Summary of the Literature of Japan (Kojiki, Nihon shoki, Fudoki)
		The Kojiki (Record of Ancient Matters) and Nihon shoki (Chronicle of Japan) were complete in 712 and 720, respectively, as government projects.
		Official embassies to the Sui (589-618) and Tang (618-907) dynasties of China (kenzuishi and kentoshi, respectively), initiated in 600, were the chief means by which Chinese culture, technology and methods of government were introduced on a comprehensive basis in Japan.
		The Kojiki (712; Record of Ancient Matter) and the Nihon shoki (720; Chronicles of Japan), the former written in hybrid Sino-Japanese and the latter in classical Chinese, were compiled under the sponsorship of the government for the purpose of the authenticating the legitimacy of its policy.

	Aikido Doshinokai (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		According to Abe Sensei, the history of Aikido is derived from the ancient time and the concept of Kokyu is in the Kojiki (or record of ancient matters – Japan’s mythical origins).
		We have asked him how “Kojiki” is related to Aikido and about “Kotodama”(言霊) (latent supernatural power in words), that is indispensable to understand deepness of Aikido.
		In “Kojiki”, it is described as, “worked alone and never appeared the figure in public”.

	Mike's History p 62 - Kojiki and Nihongi. Description.
		Of these two ancient and highly honored books, the Kojiki is slightly the elder -- it was finished in AD 712 -- and is much the more Japanese.
		From the "Kojiki" therefore, Japan's oldest book, we get our clearest vision of the earlier barbaric ages and the earliest spirit of the Japanese.
		In short, it gives such an amazing Chinese twist to everything the Kojiki had told, that no student of human nature is likely to neglect the opportunity of comparing these two books.

	Kojiki
		This page is dedicated to Kojiki, who was a very special cat and a very special friend to us.
		We found Kojiki in March, 1992, at the Luv-A-Pet center at the PetsMart at 16th Street and Indian School Road in Phoenix, Arizona.
		We decided he was "Kojiki," which is Japanese for "Beggar." We later learned that while he was very intensely curious about what you were eating, he would never eat so much as a bite of human food, or even, for that matter, wet cat food.

	Kojiki
		While the Kojiki is comparable to Beowulf in the English tradition in being the oldest Japanese book extant, and of roughly the same date, it is a very different in kind of book.
		Though none of this is close enough to be very accurate history, it offers a sense of the whole tradition as seen by the court at the time--an early conception of Japanese history, many elements from which became traditional.
		The Kojiki version does have Yamahiko marrying the princess and staying in the palace in the sea for three years before he even raises the question of the lost fishhook, as the most important difference.

		Featuring the string section from the Skywalker Symphony, along with Kitaro’s signature keyboard and flute sounds, the score to this thematic backdrop is full of passion and beauty that is masterfully conceived, arranged and performed.
		Kojiki is the original Japanese storybook that retells the core myths of Japanese folklore.
		Kitaro's approach to the Kojiki tales is to focus one the creation stories, starting with the creation of the islands, and climaxing in an intense and lurid dance that lures the sun goddess out of her cave, restoring the light and establishing Japan's royal line.

		The Kojiki is one of the most important works of both Japanese literature and history being that it is both the earliest surviving text composed in Japan on Japanese subjects and also that the stories contained their in formed a large part of the base of the Japanese self image for years to come.
		Although it is set up in a pseudo epic-poem/biblical style (line numbers, chapters, etc., obviously absent from the original), this does not reduce the readability and having reference numbers will help people overseas work with the text more easily.
		The introduction as well offers a good summarization of scholarly thinking on the Kojiki (and in part Nihonshoki) from ancient times to when the book was written.

		It was written in 712 where as the Nihon Shoki was written in 720 so apparently it is the older of the two records.
		First though it's thought the first attempt of the Kojiki was lost in the fire that burned the Soga household in a coup of 645 and Emperor Temmu commanded for the scholar-historians of that time to start again.
		The Kojiki, it seems are made up of three books: The first giving us the approved version of the Japanese myths while the other two mainly recount the reign of the prior soverigns (Prior to the era it was written in anyway LOL).
