ÀÀññîöèàöèÿ ÿïîíîâåäîâ \\ Ïóáëèêàöèè \ Russian journal of Japanese Studies Nihon Shoki (or Chronicles of Japan) is an epical monument of Japanese literature, a cycle of myths and historical legends written in A.D.720, or eight years after Kojiki (or Records of Ancient Matters, A.D.712). In accordance with this theory, the myths of Kojiki and Nihon Shoki are a symbolic interpretation of the origin of a rite or of its plot and its religious message, and a record of dances and songs that accompany rites. To Nihon Shoki’s compilers, only those events are true that are dated while the possibility of dating, which becomes increasingly realistic and topical as the recent past approaches, presupposes an openness of Nihon Shoki’s text and the possibility of continuing it into the future, as opposed to the shut-in Kojiki. japan-assoc.ru /publics/yrbk/en/2001/texts/t4

Nippon and Nihon No financial details were given, but the Nihon Keizai Shimbun newspaper said Nippon Steel could invest up to 2 billion yen ($20.2 million) in capital in the joint venture which it said... There are therefore two possible pronunciations for 日本: Nihon or Nippon. For example, Japanese people most often call themselves Nihonjin and their language Nihongo ; " Nipponjin " and " Nippongo " are unusual but not incorrect, and can be found in certain regional dialects. hallencyclopedia.com /Nippon_and_Nihon

creation_myths_in_korea_and_japan Nihon shoki, on the other hand, is written in much more skilled Chinese and has been therefore more historically accessible to scholars. Although Kojiki is thought superior to Nihon shokiby many in terms of both literary and historical value, it appears to be less accurate in the later parts than Nihon shoki, and it ends about a half century earlier. The second Japanese national history, Nihon shoki, was also compiled for the purpose of justifying the imperial line. www.meta-religion.com /World_Religions/Ancient_religions/Asia/creation_myths_in_korea_and_japan.htm

Ojin Tenno According to the Nihon Shoki or Nihongi (Chronicles of Japan), he was carried in his mother's womb for the duration of her conquest of the three kindgoms of Korea. Both the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki state that he was a bright, cunning child who was wise beyond his years and a grand strategist. Ojin was the fifteenth Tenno, or emperor of Japan, the son of Emperor Chuai and Empress Jingo. www.pantheon.org /articles/o/ojin_tenno.html

The Founding of Dazaifu - Fukuoka History - A Forum For Research on Kyushu According to the Nihon shoki, rice was brought from various kuni in Kyushu and Honshu for storage at this "Nanotsu miyake." Ostensibly, the grain was needed to succor local residents in times of famine and to feed visiting foreign guests. The Nihon shoki claims that part of the area was "ceded" to Paekche in 512-513, and from 527 there is evidence of repeated incursions by Silla, which absorbed Mimana completely in 562. From around the turn of the seventh century we find scattered references in the Nihon shoki to an official known as the "Tsukushi dazai." The dazai was a Yamato field agent stationed in the Hakata area, perhaps at the Nanotsu miyake and perhaps elsewhere. www.fukuokahistory.com /live/content/view/15/0

[No title] Moreover, the suppliers of Kaya- and Silla-related materials to the compilers of <Nihon shoki> were, besides the descendants of Yamato or Kyushu aristocrats once involved in peninsular affairs, mostly noble families of Paekche origins having emigrated to Japan after the conquest of Paekche by Silla. As we can see from many of <Nihon shoki> records, Paekche scholars, skilled craftsmen, divinators, healers, and, later, Buddhist monks and nuns were greatly valued in the Japanese Archipelago where at that time native specialists of such kind were totally lacking; so Paekche's attempt in "culture-exporting diplomacy" proved successful, and necessary consent was given. First, materials of <Nihon shoki> are sometimes distorted and embellished to the point rational research is almost impossible, although many of them are based on reliable Paekche sources. www.geocities.com /volodyatikhonov/taegayaenglish.htm

BudoSeek! Martial Arts Community Forums - What's Nihon jujutsu These are gendai Nihon jujutsu or modern variations on koryu jujutsu founded after or towards the end of the Tokugawa period (1603 1868 CE). From what I gather so far Nihon JJ is a moedern system based on old school JJ with no specific style or Ryu associated with it. Many other legitiment Nihon jujutsu ryu exist but are not considered koryu (ancient traditions). www.budoseek.net /vbulletin/printthread.php?t=8549

Nihon shoki --  Encyclopædia Britannica 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 Nihon shoki (Chronicles of Japan), together with the Kojiki (Records of Ancient Matters), forms the oldest official history of Japan, covering the period from its mythical origins to AD 697. The Nihon shoki, written in Chinese, reflects the influence of Chinese civilization on Japan. www.britannica.com /eb/article?tocId=9055822

Historian: Why Prewar Japanese Historians Did Not Tell The Truth The compilers of Nihon Shoki simply transferred this stereotypical description of rulers to the case of Nintoku, second emperor of a new lineage in the continuing imperial house. The compilers of Nihon Shoki probably had no empirical knowledge about Emperor Buretsu, but consistent with Chinese tradition, an evil ruler was needed to account for the end of the lineage begun by the virtuous emperor Nintoku. In addition to Nihon Shoki, other historical recording in early Japan was subject to distortion or embellishment, especially in family genealogies. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_m2082/is_2_62/ai_60578633

Yamato Glossary/Characters, Monomyth Website, ORIAS, UC Berkeley Nihon shoki is a Nara period (710-794) work commissioned by Emperor Temmu around 681 that recounts the myths and history of Japan from the Age of the Gods to the end of the 7 According to Nihon shoki (720), Ise shrine was established when the daughter of the legendary Emperor Suinin (reigned ca 29 B.C. to 70 A.D.), Yamatohime (also the aunt of Yamato Takeru), became a Shinto priestess and traveled around looking for a resting-place for the sacred mirror. The chief editor of Nihon shoki was Prince Toneri, a son of Emperor Temmu. www.ias.berkeley.edu /orias/hero/yamato/characters_yamato.html

History and Tradition of the Japanese Shiba Inu In Nihon Shoki (The Chronicles of Japan), Japan's oldest historical document, and other literature, is recorded the importation of dogs from the Asian continent. Nihon Shoki also indicates that from ancient times it has been custom to name dogs and use them for hunting. After the Tokugawa period (1603 - 1867) was brought to an end, many kinds of dogs were imported from countries throughout the world together with foreign cultures. juicybits.com /shosha/_history.php

Korea - Papers in English - Kudara (Conclusion) The Nihon shoki says that the new capital Ungjin was given by the emperor of Japan to king Munju of Paekche, and that area may have actually been under Japanese control. This data of the Chōsen-shi is undoubtedly wrong and the mistake is easily explainable due to the difference in the names between the Nihon shoki and the Kojiki and for the fact that the Kojiki does not mention the dates of the emperors. , used in the Nihon shoki also for the king of Paekche ( konikishi), and the meaning "sir". www.corea.it /kudara_12.htm

Singapore Paranormal Investigators The Kojiki and Nihon Shoki were compiled early in the 8th century for the purpose of legitimizing the royal orthodoxy of the Yamato dynasty. As kanji or Chinese characters were introduced from China as the first means of reading and writing in Japan, it is inevitable that the ancient Japanese were influenced by Chinese concepts and patterns of thinking when they wanted express their ideas in written language. It is interesting that the pantheon and hierarchy of deities differ considerably between the two books, especially in the beginning chapters, in spite of the fact that both of them bore characteristics of official documents. www.spi.com.sg /spi_files/shinto_shrine/kami.htm

Japan This fact should take some of the pressure off the compilers of Nihon shoki who are often denigrated by modern historians as nothing more than fabricators of history. He discusses Kogo shui from a variety of perspectives, including: the character of the text; modem scholarship dealing with it; the argument advanced by its author; and the influence on it of other ancient texts, such as Nihon shoki. Overall it indirectly parallels the text in Shoki, but since much of the style is clearly different, the reader must conclude that the work has relied on independent though similar information. www.wordtrade.com /history/asia/japanR.htm

Asian Studies Conference Japan ASCJ His "Nihon shoki jindai no maki sho" is usually dismissed as a minor, somewhat peculiar work of Shinto theory, but I will argue that it contains the key to Kanetomo's contribution to the construction of "kiki shinwa," and thus provides an opportunity to reinterpret the nature of medieval commentary on the Nihon Shoki. Often referred to as "myths of Japan" (Nihon shinwa), the Kojiki and Nihon shoki are in fact highly political documents, commissioned by tenno to support their legitimacy. Among the varied groups that later canonized these texts were scholars who lectured and wrote commentaries on the Nihon shoki and poets who relied on the (often unread) tradition of the Man'yoshu to support their own literary projects. www.meijigakuin.ac.jp /~ascj/2000/200015.htm

Shinto Concepts - Elementary Guide to Japanese Shinto Concepts While the Kojiki is richer in genealogy and myth, the Nihon Shoki adds a great deal to scholarly understanding of both the history and the myth of early Japan. For this reason, Emperor Temmu ordered the compilation of myths and genealogies that finally resulted in the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki. The country's name, Nippon or Nihon, is typically translated as "Land of the Rising Sun" or "Source of the Sun." The country's national anthem, the kimigayo, also officially adopted in 1999, is a song of praise to the emperor. www.onmarkproductions.com /html/shinto-concepts.shtml

Irezumi -- History-induced Stigma:The Role of Tattoos in Japanese Society The Nihon Shoki and the Kojiki are both histories of Japan and refer back to the Kofun period. The princess is startled because an attendant is tattooed. Steeped in Japanese mythology, they are "governed by a dominant imperial ideology formulated in the early eighth century (on the basis of Chinese prototypes) (McCallum 116)." Both contain several references to tattoos, and McCallum focuses on these in his study. www.geocities.com /Tokyo/Shrine/2475/irezumi.html

[No title] Thereafter, since there is less need for extensive interpretation in the subsequent portions of the text, he simply mines the Nihon shoki for the rich evidence it provides concerning the close relations maintained by the courts of Paekche and Japan until the destruction of the Korean kingdom in the late seventh century. Hong¡¡ alignment of extracts from the Nihon shoki and relevant excerpts from modern secondary scholarship in his discussion of early cultural diffusion offers an enlightening and relatively concise overview of this historically critical process. Certainly the single most important written source relating to early Korean-Japanese relations is the early eighth-century Nihon shoki, a text which is, however, commonly acknowledged to have been compiled in significant part to justify the Japanese imperial family¡¡ claims to divine origins and a reign unbroken since Emperor Jimmu¡¡ time. gias.snu.ac.kr /wthong/publication/bookreview/3.html

Japanese Literature Although both works contain much the same mythical and historical material, the Koji-ki is clearly intended for exclusive use by the Japanese, whereas the Nihon shoki, showing the influence of Chinese thought, is broader in scope. These compositions subsequently were recorded and are included in the Koji-ki (Records of Ancient Matters, 712), written largely in Japanese with Chinese characters, and the Nihon shoki (History Book of Ancient Japan, 720), written almost exclusively in Chinese. Although no written literature existed before the 8th century, a large number of ballads, ritual prayers, myths, and legends were composed in the previous centuries. www.connect.net /ron/japaneseliterature.html

Emperors of Japan The Nihon shoki dates are doubtful, but notice how they gradually converge with modern historians’ estimates. The traditional dates are those given in the chronicle Nihon shoki, written around 720. The first 14 tennō in the traditional count are legendary, probably created in the 7th century CE. www.sizes.com /time/CHRNJapan_emper.htm

Hotsuma Tsutae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Hotsuma Tsutae (also Hotuma Tsutaye or Hotuma Tsutahe, Japanese:秀真伝) is an elaborate epic of Japanese mythical history whose description is substantially different from the mainstream version as recorded in the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki or Nihongi. The Hotsuma Tsutae is known for its beautiful text and perfect rhythm. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hotsuma_Tsutae

Japan The Nihon shoki gives 660 BC as the year in which Jimmu, the first emperor of Japan, ascended the throne, thereby founding the Japanese Empire. The earliest surviving records of Japanese history, aside from Chinese accounts, are contained in two semimythical chronicles, the Koji-ki and the Nihon shoki (or Nihongi), the former compiled in AD 712 and the latter in AD 720. Archaeological and historical research has shown that the first modern inhabitants of Japan were the Jomon people, who lived in the area from about 10,000 to 300 BC and whose name is taken from the distinctive pottery artifacts found from this era. www.cartage.org.lb /en/themes/GeogHist/histories/history/hiscountries/J/japan.html

Scheid To sustain such far-fetched claims, a particular episode of the Divine Age Chapter of Nihon shoki was often drawn upon. Given the fact that “to hide” often means “to die” in the language of the Nihon shoki, Ôkuninushi’s “hiding” seems to be just an euphemism for suicide. www.oeaw.ac.at /ias/archiv/japan_symp04/scheid.htm

Shinto: Old or New Shinto is actually a generic term for popular beliefs, whether of China, Korea, or Japan and since the Nihon shoki was compiled with a knowledge of China in mind it is unlikely that its author used the Chinese word "Shinto" solely to mean Japan's indigenous religion. The scholar Kuroda Toshio points to the three uses of the word "Shinto" in the Nihon shoki to show how the word has been misinterpreted by modern scholars. The earliest recorded uses of the term Shinto in Japan come from the Kojiki and Nihon shoki. www.stthomasu.ca /~parkhill/cj01/irepjb.htm

Shinto: Way of the Gods - Godulike - An Irreverent Look at the Faith Industry Making their first appearance in the mid 700's (AD) the Kojiki, the Nihon Shoki and the Rokkokushi made a concerted attempt to answer to all those niggling little questions that had been bothering Japanese emperors for the last thousand years - the thousand years that is, before the mid 700's. The Kojiki translated as a Record of Ancient Matters, the Nihon Shoki weighed in as the Chronicles of Japan, and the Rokkokushi was the written account of the Six Natural Histories, and were offered for the imperial stamp of approval between (AD) 712 and 720. Scribes were called and Kojiki, The Record of Ancient Matters, and the Nihon Shoki The Chronicles of Japan started to answer all his questions. www.godulike.co.uk /faiths.php?chapter=92&subject=who
