The Kojiki, or “Records of Ancient Matters,” holds the prestigious title of being Japan’s oldest surviving chronicle. Compiled in 712 AD, this amazing text offers a window into the myths, legends, and early history of Japan. Written by Ō no Yasumaro under the commission of Empress Genmei, the Kojiki is a treasure trove of narratives that shape the foundation of Japanese culture and religion. From the divine creation of the Japanese islands to the legendary tales of emperors, the Kojiki provides a fascinating glimpse into the spiritual and political origins of Japan. 

The Kojiki – Chronicling Ancient Japan

When it comes to a text as ancient as the Kojiki, it can be hard to know what is fact and what is fiction. According to the text’s preface, the Kojiki was commissioned by Empress Genmei in the early 8th century AD, a period when the Japanese court sought to consolidate its power and establish a unified national identity. If true, this would make the Kojiki the oldest extant literary work in Japan.
