It is a rich account of the people, places, natural resources and stories in the Harima region of western Japan. Produced by the government as a tool for Japan's early state formation, Harima Fudoki includes important myths of places and gods from a different perspective to the contemporaneous 'national' chronicles. This document is an essential primary source for all who are interested in ancient Japan. In this new critical edition, Palmer draws upon recent research into the archaeology, history, orality and literature of ancient Japan to reinterpret this hitherto little-known document. Palmer's insightful commentary contextualizes the Harima tales for the first time in English"--Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record SUBJECT Harima no Kuni fudoki. http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n82052828 Harima no Kuni fudoki fast Subject HISTORY -- Asia -- Japan.
