HISTORY OF THE JAPANESE PEOPLE

Abstract

This chapter explores the old myth, the divine pair Isanagi and Isanami, as has already been mentioned, created not only the Japanese island-world, but also its ruling race. Besides the, early history records further of Jimmu-Tenn that he was a powerful and enlightened prince, who overcame all his foes, assured peace to the country far and wide, and interested himself in the development of peaceful industry, especially of agriculture. Considering the prestige which it has at all times, down to the present day, enjoyed with the Japanese people, and the very liberal arrangements made for keeping up the family, the fact is not particularly striking. The brave Minamoto also from this time came more and more to the front in the theatre of history. Their history is familiar to every Japanese. The Japanese, however, made the Russians submit to their full measure of humiliation.
