In How did the Chronicle of Japan and the Kojiki Established, Yuuko Kuranishi points out that the complier of the Chronicle of Japan regarded the position of the Tennow as one of descendants of deities from the Heaven, maybe Takama-no-hara, while that of the Kojiki as a sacred offspring landing on the Earth, where would have been Ashihara-no-naka-tu kuni or Izumo. The key concept is “heaven and earth”. We can read this concept, heaven and earth, from some expression left in both of two history books.
