Images from the Exhibit
The Nihon shoki, also called the Chronicles of Japan, is Japan's oldest
official history, describing its early emperors and mythical origins. This
seminal text was completed in the fifth lunar month of 720; the year 2020
marks its 1300th anniversary.
This exhibition features the Iwasaki and Yoshida editions of the
Nihon shoki, both National Treasures owned by the Kyoto National
Museum. Also on view are a range of celebrated early manuscripts from
Japan, China, and Korea. We hope visitors enjoy this opportunity to see for themselves these consequential, ancient East Asian texts.
