Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. The Chronicles of Japan--or The Nihon Shoki--compiled in 720 CE, is the oldest official history of the Japanese state. Following a 672 coup, the state of Wa renamed itself Japan and produced this dynastic historical text, legitimizing its hegemony of the archipelago. The first volume begins with the creation of the universe and the divine genealogy that underpins imperial legitimacy. Although the text was originally produced as a record of dynastic history, it is now considered the single most valuable source of information about the life, language, culture, myths, and customs of early Japan. To this day it inspires new adaptations in film, media, and video games.Written in Literary Sinitic with vernacular Japanese notes and songs, the text illustrates the process by which non-Chinese speaking peoples adapted Classical Chinese script and syntax to inscribe their own languages. Matthieu Felt's full English translation of this text is accompanied by explanatory notes, maps, and charts, making it valuable to any reader interested in the history of Japan, Shinto, mythology, the history of writing, Japanese literature and culture, and premodern Asian history. Written around 720 CE, The Chronicles of Japan, or The Nihon Shoki is the oldest official history of the Japanese state and is considered the single most valuable source of information about the life, language, culture, myths, and customs of early Japan. Matthieu Felt's compelling translation is accompanied by extensive explanatory notes, charts, tables, and maps.

Hardback. Condition: New. Meanings of Antiquity is the first dedicated study of how the oldest Japanese myths, recorded in the eighth-century texts Kojiki and Nihon shoki, changed in meaning and significance between 800 and 1800 CE. Generations of Japanese scholars and students have turned to these two texts and their creation myths to understand what it means to be Japanese and where Japan fits into the world order.As the shape and scale of the world explained by these myths changed, these myths evolved in turn. Over the course of the millennium covered in this study, Japan transforms from the center of a proud empire to a millet seed at the edge of the Buddhist world, from the last vestige of China's glorious Zhou Dynasty to an archipelago on a spherical globe. Analyzing historical records, poetry, fiction, religious writings, military epics, political treatises, and textual commentary, Matthieu Felt identifies the geographical, cosmological, epistemological, and semiotic changes that led to new adaptations of Japanese myths. Felt demonstrates that the meanings of Japanese antiquity and of Japan's most ancient texts were-and are-a work in progress, a collective effort of writers and thinkers over the past 1,300 years.
