Kojiki (illustrated Annotated Edition)
Literature古事记（插图注释版）
(japan) Tai'an Wanlu
This book is Japan's first literary work, containing ancient Japanese myths, legends, ballads, historical stories, etc. The "Kojiki" compiled by Tai'an Wanlu on January 28, the fifth year of Hetong (712), was dedicated to Emperor Yuanming. Events from the founding myth to the era of Emperor Suiko (the aunt of Prince Shotoku) have been recorded in history books. The whole book is written in Chinese characters. Although the Chinese subject-verb-object grammar is the main word order, Japanese grammatical structures also appear from time to time, reflecting some characteristics of early Japanese variant Chinese. The content can be roughly divided into two items: "Ben Ci" and "Emperor Chronicle", and three parts: "First Volume", "Middle Volume" and "Second Volume". This book contains color illustrations and inserts.
