War chronicles primarily deal with battles, and they also incorporate interesting and engaging matters related to nature and human affairs, adding legends and imagination to historical facts. They are written in a flamboyant style that blends Japanese and Chinese writing, and they vividly depict the rise and fall of human life, idealizing it to suit the tastes of the people. As a result, they strongly express the national character and are most representative of the national characteristics. ☆ Contents ☆ ⚫︎ Overview of War Chronicles: Reverence for the Gods, Loyalty to the Emperor and Patriotism, Bonds between Master and Servant, Respect for Tradition, Pure Love, Honor, Artistic Taste ⚫︎ Current Issues in Japanese Culture - Yukio Urushihara ◉ A5 size.
