Ktei Kojiki den 7 is part of a detailed commentary on the Kojiki, Japan's oldest extant chronicle. Written by Motoori Norinaga (1730-1801), a prominent scholar of the Kokugaku movement, this work represents a deep dive into the linguistic and historical aspects of this foundational text. The Kojiki itself contains myths, legends, and historical accounts related to the origin of the Japanese archipelago, the kami (deities), and the Imperial line. Norinaga's commentary offers invaluable insights into the language, worldview, and cultural context of ancient Japan. This volume is essential for scholars and anyone interested in classical Japanese literature, mythology, and history.
