Description

Kojiki consists of three volumes. The first volume describes the mythical world called "Ashiharano Nakatsukuni", The second and third volumes relate stories of the Emperors' world, "Tenka"; these are based on the myths found in the first volume. "Tenka" insists that its world is unique. When we read the second volume from this point of view, we appreciate the historical descriptions of the structure of "Tenka". The inner construction is Oyashimaguni and the outer construction is Chokenkoku.
