Japanese history
Things that are considered common sense in Japanese culture such as "Yatagarasu has three legs" and "Inaba no shirobuna wa shirohaku" are, in fact, misunderstandings and assumptions made by modern people. This book describes unexpected facts of Japanese culture based on historical materials of Yusoku kojitsu (court and samurai rules of ceremony and etiquette). From ancient times to modern times, this book contains more than 100 items including topics related to food, clothing, housing, and historical figures, well-known folk stories and traditions, and classical literature such as 『 Genji monogatari 』. It is a new Japanese cultural history that overturns conventional common sense.
