In recent years, there has been a noticeable and enthusiastic
increase of interest in Buddhist temples and Shinto shrines in
Japan. The legends of these temples and shrines are recorded in
many historical manuscripts and these genealogies have such great
significance that some of them have been registered as national
treasures of Japan. They are indispensable to elucidate the history
of these temples and shrines, in addition to the formation process
of the ancient Japanese nation. This book provides a comprehensive
examination of the genealogies and legends of ancient Japanese
clans. It advances the study of ancient Japanese history by
utilizing new analytical perspective from not only the well-known
historical manuscripts relied upon by previous researchers, but
also valuable genealogies and legends that previous researchers
largely neglected.
