	C. HISTORY OF THE TRADITIONAL DIET: JAPANESE AND THE WHALE
		Although it is difficult to discover in what era people began to use the word 'kujira' (whale in Japanese), it is clear that this word was already in use before the Nara period.
		The term 'kujira' can be seen in the "Kojiki" (Record of Ancient Chronicles), the oldest literature in Japan, edited in 712 A.D. and "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan), the oldest authentic records in Japan, edited in 720 A.D. Different Chinese characters of the word 'kujira' appear in these records.
		Although the pronunciations of these words are the same as the current term, neither character is in use today.
