À propos de cet audio
What do you get when you mix sun gods, death gods, dragon-slaying storm brothers, and a mirror that brought back the light? You get the Kojiki—the oldest book in Japan, the sacred origin story of a nation, and the mythic scroll that crowned emperors for over a thousand years.
Commissioned in 712 CE, the Kojiki isn't just a bunch of old tales—it's the divine genealogy of the Japanese state, where gods create islands, descend from heaven, and pass on a sacred sword, a mirror, and a jewel to their royal descendants. It’s myth as monarchy. Religion as politics. And it shaped Japan from its misty beginning to its modern throne.
In this sharp walkthrough, JJ unrolls the scroll and tells the story exactly as it appears—no fluff, no academic fog, no spin. Just what it says. And what it says…is powerful.
Whether you’re here for the mythology, the political subtext, the religious DNA of Japan, or just a badass story—this is the Kojiki you’ve never seen before.
