Japanese history
Things that are considered common sense in Japanese culture, such as "Yatagarasu wa three legged" and "Inaba no shirousagi wa white", are actually the result of misunderstandings and assumptions made by modern people. This book is based on historical materials of yusoku kojitsu (court and samurai rules of ceremony and etiquette) to trace unexpected facts about Japanese culture. It contains more than 100 items from ancient times to modern times, focusing on topics related to clothing, food, and housing, as well as historical people, as well as stories and legends that are well known by everyone, as well as classical literature such as 『 Genji Monogatari 』 (The Tale of Genji in Meiji). This new Japanese cultural history overturns conventional common sense.
