Translation is a tough work, and the challenge is compounded when the original is written in archaic language because the meaning of words change over time.

I've been wondering why the Japanese gods Izanagi and Izanami have been accused of incest. It's because of the word 妹. In modern Japanese, it is read "imoto" and means younger sister. When Kojiki was written in the early 700s, however, the character was read "imo" and it meant (beloved) woman. It could mean sister, but usually it meant lover/ ...more

Recommends it for: Those intersted in the early history of Japan.

Kojiki, or “Records”, is one of the oldest existing documents, besides the Nihongi (Chronicles), which covers the very early history of Japan. It is rich with mythic allusions, hundreds and hundreds of Japanese Deities (Kami), and is highly influenced by the nature-based, nationalistic religion of Shintoism. Up until recently, this work was considered to be the oldest work, surpassing Nihongi, but recent scholarship has shown that indeed, the Nihongi receives this distinction. Nevertheless, the Kojiki, or “Records”, is one of the oldest existing documents, besides the Nihongi (Chronicles), which covers the very early history of Japan. It is rich with mythic allusions, hundreds and hundreds of Japanese Deities (Kami), and is highly influenced by the nature-based, nationalistic religion of Shintoism. Up until recently, this work was considered to be the oldest work, surpassing Nihongi, but recent scholarship has shown that indeed, the Nihongi receives this distinction. Nevertheless, the Kojiki is very valuable as a source of historical information, which also accurately accounts for the Emperors and Empresses who ruled early Japan. For that fact alone, the ’Kojiki can be considered a National treasure. But there are also other things that would interest a geeky reader like me. There are the stories, mythical, historical, and lyrical, as well as covering romantic trysts, that peak one’s interest. There are the deceptions between brother and brother . There are the sieges against an enemy . There is even the heart wrenching story of a love betrayal, where the princess, who sides with her brother, is executed by her lover and husband(), after failed attempts to kidnap her and bring her over the fortifications, thereby saving her from destruction.
There are magical powers at work in the ’Kojiki’. The mirror that causes Izanagi, to come out of hiding and bring light back into the world, after she had been shamed by. Izanagi is also featured as the Kami, who, along with her companion, created Japan out of drops of ink dripping from the blade of a long spear. There is the very huge sword which uses on occasion. There are is also the unusual story of the use of oranges as a magical source in one section of the text.
Then there is the court poetry near the end of the text. It should be of interest to the western reader how these poems are presented. Much like a question and answer, or more appropriately, like a call and echo, these poems have the one lover lamenting over their desire, almost to the breaking point, to have their lover be present with them. In response, the companion will create their own verse, agreeing with the situation, yet augmenting the problem by pointing out the difficulties faced on his or her end of things. Rather than seeing one side of things, as we see in many a sonnet, Japanese court poetry fits together both sides of the equation, while maintaining their metrical structure, unless there is a coruption in the text, as one poem in the ’Kojiki’ illustrates. But it was a pleasant introduction for me into another culture’s artistic heritage and style.
I must warn the reader that like the genealogies found in the Old Testament, the genealogies of the Kami and Emperors and Empresses, who under Japanese thinking are living gods, thus the honorific “August” used over and over again, are numerous, and may be tedious reading for those who are not into that sort of tracing, though for me it was an interesting look into Japan’s distant past, and the puzzling confusion I have of the Japanese to continue the belief that only the male line of the Emperorship is valid, when clearly there were women in the very early times as acting Empresses, with one being credited (how do they get around this fact?) with leading the successful campaign to conquer Korea. I think for anyone interested in the spiritual and historical heritage of Japan, would find these lengthy lists of interest. Though it slows down the reading considerably, it is also valuable to keep track of the individuals who pop up from time to time, either as main characters in a particular story, or as important “cameos” in others.
There is also subtle references to Chinese influence in these stories. There are annotated references to actual places in China and of things of Chinese import sprinkled throughout the work. But what I think is most fascinating (and something I either missed in Chamberlain’s footnotes, if there ever was mention), is how much the names of the Kami sound so Chinese.
Now on to my peeve, Basil Hall Chamberlain's translation and commentary on the 'Kojiki'! I like the 'Kojiki', but Chamberlain's commentary irritates me. At the beginning of the work, Chamberlain doesn't hide it very well for his disdain for Japanese scholarship, at one time calling it "elaborate" and "fantastic" (in the sense of unbelievable). W.G. Ashton, another scholar who has some supplemental footnotes as well within the ‘Kojiki‘, and for the most part keeps his scholarship in check, even when he disagrees. Chamberlain's comments, while perhaps appropriate for a paper on Japanese scholarship and its shortcomings, is not appropriate in footnote to a translated work. After awhile, while even agreeing with the Japanese commentaries, I find myself wondering if Chamberlain isn't begrudgingly throwing such scholarship a bone. He does admittedly does a fine job when he's not making side remarks, but I find the lack of professionalism inferred irritating in the least.
Also, what's with his using Latin in brief, and sometimes, fairly lengthy passages? While he will translate a part and give a few pages of explanation as to why the passage is difficult to translate or accept another's translation, he ends up at other times resorting to Latin. Why doesn't he just be consistent, translate the weaker portions, and explains like he does elsewhere why the translation is wanting? There are in some cases up to two pages where a whole passage of the 'Kojiki' is in Lain, then the commentary will sometimes start with, "As is obvious from the lines...". Obvious to whom? A Latin scholar? I know that Basil Hall Chamberlain lived in the 19th century, but he must have known, even then, that some of his readers, professors or scholars, who were (and are) not conversant in Latin to make heads or tails of the text! Unless this work was considered only for scholastic publication, which it may very well have been.
Finally, some of the numbers referring to the footnotes or the footnotes themselves are either hard to read, or are placed in the wrong place, where you would expect to find a train of thought on a tagged line to be. This is not Chamberlain’s fault, but of the editors and printers who worked on the publication of the work.
For these reasons above, I could only give this particular translation three stars. Please note that not all of the commentaries are to be ignored. In fact, there are numerous comments that are of great value. And also, it is not a reflection of the ‘Kojiki’ itself, which is undoubtedly a treasure. But, it is a whole package, a historical work with scholastic footnotes, which is almost as long as the work itself, and I have to treat the work as a whole body, not just the stories contained in the ‘Kojiki’.
Is there anyone out there reading this review who could give me any recommendations on recent scholarship or commentaries/translations that might be of interest? Please let me know in a comment should you have one.
Finally, I wish to make apology for the lack of citation for this review. I’ve been behind in the books I’ve read, that I simply do not have the time to cite all the references within this very dense book. However, I’ve tried to describe the book as honestly as I can.

Il Kojiki è la pietra miliare della letteratura giapponese, la prima cronaca in assoluto trascritta per volere imperiale nell'epoca Nara, ossia nell'antica capitale. Il Kojiki è il primo dei documenti letterari, che assieme al Nihon Shoki e al Man'yoshu hanno il dovere di legittimare il potere imperiale ma non solo.

Il Kojiki è il primo dei documenti letterari, che assieme al Nihon Shoki e al Man'yoshu hanno il dovere di legittimare il potere imperiale ma non solo. La mia recensione analizzerà in particolare due punti, che hanno una caratteristica in comune: spiegare come mai questa cronaca sia così importante; la prima osservazione riguarderà la versione orginale del Kojiki, mentre la seconda è incentrata interamente sulle tematiche trattate. Prima del Kojiki (712) non ci sono testi scritti, questo perché vi era la mancanza di un sistema di scrittura, che verrà poi assimilato dalla Cina. Dai caratteri cinesi nascerà poi il kana (IX sec.), ovvero l'alfabeto sillabico giapponese che si può dividere in hiragana e katakana. Nella prefezione del Kojiki viene proprio descritta la difficoltà nell'adattare la scrittura cinese alle necessità del giapponese. La difficoltà nell'adattare i sinogrammi e presente soprattutto nelle opere elencate in precedenza, dato che a volte il carattere cinese veniva adoperato per il significato, ma in altri casi per il suo valore fonetico. Il lavoro compiuto nella traduzione di questa petra miliare dal giapponese all'italiano è davvero eccellente.

L'opera si divide in tre capitoli differenti che trattano 1) La creazione del Giappone; 2) gli imperatori leggendari; 3) Da Nintoku all'imperatrice Suiko. (view spoiler)

Dunque, perché leggere il Kojiki? Se siete appassionati della cultura, storia, letteratura giapponese, o anche se volete semplicemente leggere qualcosa di vagamente diverso , questo libro può fare per voi. Una buona parte è legata alla mitologia giapponese, che è stata fondamentale fino al secondo dopoguerra, poiché determinava la discendenza divina dell'imperatore. Trovo che in questo libro siano raccolte le fondamenta del Giappone moderno, che continua a conciliare due caratteristiche molto diverse fra di loro: tradizione e modernità.

But it's simply not a text one sits down & reads for pleasure -- not the translator's fault, of course. It is what is, "An Account of Ancient Matters."

Not that the book doesn't contain its narrative pleasures. The strange doings of Izanagi & Izanami and later of Amaterasu & Susa-no-o are relatively well known to people who have a smattering of Japanese mythology or cultural history. But here you can also enjoy the sometimes comic levels of dysfunction among the spirits of heaven or the charms of a spirit like "Thought Over" (Omoi-kane in Japanese), whose name, the glossary tells us, "refers to the ability to hold many thoughts at the same time" (237), an ability it struck me is sadly lacking in most contemporary discourse. And many tragedies pepper the book as well, the most affecting of which is the story of "Red Boar Child" (Akaiko), who obeys her sovereign's command to wait till he comes back to marry her and turns up at his hall 80 years later to prove her steadfastness to the ruler who's completely forgotten about her.

But there are many, many pages along the lines of "This Guy became the ruler of all under heaven and married these women and had these children and then died and was buried at the barrow in Such-and-Such a Place." I would be lying if I didn't admit to skimming through some of this. But again, this could all be of great value to a researcher or student of these texts.

My original gripe with the translation still stands: I don't like the decision to translate every personal & place name into English. For one thing, it makes it difficult for a student to correlate names to the more well-known Japanese names. Amaterasu should be Amaterasu, not "Heaven Shining." And it seems a disservice to turn famous place names like Ise into "Sacred Streams" or Yoshino into "Good Moors." It also made the book unintentionally comic in places. It was impossible not to laugh over monikers like "Master Bamboo-Brushing Rushing Flagon Father" or "Swift-Sucking Straits."

I also wish the glossaries had been more carefully compiled. For a while I was keeping track of every personal & place name I encountered (in part because I wanted to know what they actually were in the original), but about halfway through the text I gave up after finding more & more names simply missing from the glossary. Greater care needed to be taken with this in the editing & production of the book.

A valuable contribution to Japanese studies. But probably of limited interest to the "average" reader, even the average English-language reader interested in Japan.

A must read for any fan of japanese history and mythology. The Kojiki is one of the oldest texts available, compiled by Ō no Yasumaro on the orders of the sovereign, it chronicles the creation of the japanese islands, the births of gods and goddesses (and their adventures) and the divine/mythical origin of the emperors. It also has a lengthy section concerning the subjugation and conquest of wild peoples by the emperors and their warriors. Near the end there is a list of emperors, with summaries ...more

This tome is often said to be the Japanese "Bible"- of course, it is really nothing of the sort, and if read it expecting that you'll be a bit surprised. In form, it is more similar to Aesop's Fables. The books consists of some basic myths of Japanese Shintoism, and the stories are often entertaining and full of bodily fluids, all of which produce hundreds of gods. A nessecary text for anyone studying religion or Japan.

Kojiki carries a lot of those concepts that "unregenerate Westerners" tend to miss.
