Japanese History: The Founding Myth - English
URL: http://www.variable.net/hidden/japan/D1_1.J.HTM

Also known as the "Prince Yamato Myth" (Nihan Shoki / Kojiki), the founding myth of Japan involves the relation between man and the Kami or Natural Spirits/'gods'. The Kami came into existence on a plane parallel to the Prime Material, whence Japan is created after Izanagi (the male) 'dips his spear into the ocean' and creates Japan along with Izanami (the female). They produce a pantheon of gods, and it is through this natural divinity that the hegemony of the Yamato House is mythically legitimized.

Introduction to history of Japan's Literature - English
URL: http://www.kanzaki.com/jinfo/jliterature.html

Japanese literature traces its beginnings to oral traditions that were first recorded in written form in the early eighth century after a writing system was introduced from China. The Kojiki (Record of Ancient Matters) and Nihon shoki (Chronicle of Japan) were completed in 712 and 720, respectively, as government projects. The former is an anthology of myths, legends, and other stories, while the latter is a chronological record of history. The Fudoki (Records of Wind and Earth), compiled by provincial officials beginning in 713, describe the history, geography, products, and folklore of the various provinces.
