Summary "Japan: From the Japanese Government History" by Kan'ichi Asakawa is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work presents a comprehensive overview of Japanese history, particularly focusing on the formation and development of the Japanese Empire, including its mythological origins and the establishment of governmental structures. The text is grounded in the narrative of Japan's past, entwining legend with historical fact to illustrate the evolution of the nation. The opening of the work establishes a foundational understanding of Japan's geographic and political landscape. It begins with a detailed description of the archipelago, detailing its islands, topography, and climatic conditions. Asakawa introduces the mythical age associated with the early deities Izanagi and Izanami, reflecting on the creation myths that trace the lineage of the Japanese emperors back to these divine figures. This blending of mythology with early historical events sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Japanese civilization, including its agricultural practices, governance, and key historical figures, preparing readers for a richer examination of Japan's historical progression.
