Detailed explanation-1: -The holy books of Shinto are the Kojiki or ‘Records of Ancient Matters’ (712 CE) and the Nihon-gi or ‘Chronicles of Japan’ (720 CE). These books are compilations of ancient myths and traditional teachings that had previously been passed down orally.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Kojiki (also written in the Latin alphabet as Furukotofumi) is the first written record of Japanese history and it is foundational in the indigenous Japanese religion of Shintō.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Kojiki, the most ancient written text in Japan that has reached us, dates back to 712. Those “Records of Ancient Matters” are a collection of myths about the origins of the archipelago islands and kami (the gods). Along with the Nihon Shoki (720), the Kojiki has inspired most of Shinto beliefs and rites.
