  Mike's History p 62 - Kojiki and Nihongi. Description.
The Nihongi is a slighter later version done in the Chinese style.
They even preserve the songs, the crudest of barbaric chants, which he and his followers are supposed to have sung.
The Nihongi, on the contrary, while almost as old as the Kojiki, is a wholly Chinese work.

In this sense, the Nihongi, as with the Kojiki, represents a mixture of an open political agenda with a sometimes mixed groups of folkloric tales and mythological happenings.
The Nihongi itself was completed around 720 AD, and played an important role in the reshaping of Japan by the Yamato rulers, not least in the naming of the country as Nippon.
And although the Nihongi itself is neither held to be a canon of any kind, it's subsequent effect on Japanese identity, in conjunction with the Kojiki, has been extremely powerful.

The Nihongi documented: “The Emperor Wofodo [otherwise called Fiko-futo no Mikoto] was the son of Prince Fiko Usi, a descendant in the fifth generation of the Emperor Fomuda.”(2) The most important part of the genealogy is coherent with the Kojiki.
The Nihongi recorded that Umako Soga ordered one of his men to kill king Sushun, who was a grand son of Keitai but the house of Soga was so powerful that the king’s family could do nothing against it.
The Kojiki and the Nihongi in which Keitai was documented as “a descendant in the fifth generation” of a former king were completed in 712 and 720.

 Nintoku: The Wealth of the Emperor
As a sub-theme of this argument is the exposition of the gradual evolution of Confucian principles and the spread of these principles across Japan.
   While Western historians question the existence of the early emperors described in the Nihongi, the story of Nintoku's sacrifice in order to guarantee the people's prosperity is a defining moment in Japanese history for the ancient Japanese.
The following story is, for the ancient Japanese, the moment in history when the proper role of the emperor was heroically asserted with the self-sacrifice of its most benevolent emperor.

 Nihonshoki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Compared with Kojiki, the oldest, it is more elaborate and has proven invaluable to historians as it includes the most complete historical records they have of ancient Japanese history.
The book is also called the Nihongi (日本紀).
Like Kojiki, Nihonshoki begins with mythological tales that cannot be relied on for historical reference, but it also continues on to contemporary events.

The latter deities, a brother and sister, received from their superiors the sacred mandate to descend from heaven to the terrestrial world, where they were to generate and form an entire new realm of beings.
One version states that the two high gods, after having created the islands of Japan with their plentiful mountains, rivers, and lush plant life, consulted together and decided that this new realm required a set of rulers to preside over it.
Tsukiyomi no Mikoto, ruler of the night, is represented in the Nihongi as clad in mystical garments of gorgeous colors: “His radiance was next to that of the sun in splendor.

In the historical argument of the Nihongi and the Kojiki, Jimmu, or Kamu-Yamato-Ihare-Biko in his proper Japanese name, translated the heavenly rule of the Sun Goddess, Amaterasu, into an earthly realm.
Another source is the Nihongi, or “Chronicles of Japan.” Izanagi and Izanami had several children, including the Sun goddess Amaterasu.
The latter were known in the Nihongi as "Japanese captives" of the Emishi.
