Kojiki

Kojiki (古事記, Kojiki^? "Zapis drevnih stvari") je najstariji sačuvani historijski tekst u Japanu, koji datira sa početka 8. vijeka (711-2) a koga je sastavio Ō no Yasumaro na zahtjev carice Gemmei.^[1] Kojiki predstavlja zbirku mitova koji opisuju nastanak četiri otoka Japana, kao i Kami. Zajedno sa kasnijim tekstom Nihon Shoki, mitovi zabilježni u Kojikiju predtstavljaju nadahnuće za šintoističke obrede i vjerovanja, uključujući ritual pročišćenja zvan misogi.^[2]
