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 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.
