Ō no Yasumaro (660–723)

This tome is often said to be the Japanese "Bible"- of course, it is really nothing of the sort, and if read it expecting that you'll be a bit surprised. In form, it is more similar to Aesop's Fables. The books consists of some basic myths of Japanese Shintoism, and the stories are often entertaining and full of bodily fluids, all of which produce hundreds of gods. A nessecary text for anyone studying religion or Japan.

el libro historico y literario màs antiguo de Japòn

Si tratta del più antico testo letterario giapponese.
Narra la protostoria del Giappone che inizia con l’emergere dell’Arcipelago dal caos primordiale.
Un'immersione totale nel pantheon nipponico: a volte terribile, altre divertente, sempre stupefacente.

One of the earliest collections of Japanese myths, shading into quasi-historical chronicles towards the end.
Very repetitive but very intersting for comparative purposes, as the compilers included several different versions of each of the early myths.
