Ktei Kojiki den, Volume 3 is a profound exploration of the Kojiki, one of the foundational texts of Japanese history, mythology, and Shinto religion. Penned by Motoori Norinaga (1730-1801), a prominent scholar of the Edo period, this volume continues his detailed and insightful commentary on the ancient chronicle. Norinaga's work is celebrated for its meticulous linguistic analysis and its attempt to restore what he believed was the authentic spirit of Japanese culture, free from foreign influences. This volume offers invaluable insights into the early history, beliefs, and cultural identity of Japan. It remains an essential resource for scholars and anyone interested in understanding the roots of Japanese civilization and the development of Shinto thought. This edition allows readers to engage with Norinaga's scholarship and the historical context of the Kojiki.
