Revised By: Matthieu Felt
The Kojiki is Japan’s oldest surviving text, chronicling the mythical creation of the Japanese islands, the origins of the imperial family, and the early development of Shinto, Japan’s indigenous religion. A cornerstone of Japanese identity and culture, it has profoundly influenced the nation’s literature, spirituality, and political thought for over a thousand years.
In this edition, Dr.Matthieu Felt has fully revised the work and made it accessible to a broader category of readers. This edition highlights why the Kojiki remains essential reading for anyone interested in Japanese mythology, literature, history, or religion.
