I've been highly interested in japanese history myself, which books do you recommend for a total beginner in the subject?

>>9847861
Not OP, but "A history of Japan" for a general overview and "The Making of Modern Japan" for Tokugawa and modern times are breddy gud

They both have "Further reading" sections if you wanna read more about a specific thing

Thank you! I will check these out.

You can read it online for free, it's a pretty old translation. Probably the best you'll find though, the only newer ones are academic editions for universities and are really expensive and hard to get hold of.

Possible you're thinking of the Kojiki there. There's 3 translations of that, the second of which is arguably the best but only had a limited print and is marketed towards academics. The Nihongi I pictured is only £10 a volume.

Yes, I meant the one in your pic, it's pretty old
