History
The Kojiki was written first in 711. It is the oldest Japanese book.[9][10]
The Nihon Shoki came second in 720.[11]
The Rikkokushi directly follow the Nihongi[3] but are considered separate due to their historical nature
The Kujiki was recognised as a forgery in the Edo period and stopped being used then[6].
The Kiki became more prominent in the Meiji period since it was used for State Shinto.[12][13]
