Excerpt from Japanese Treasure Tales Ever since I first came to England some six or seven years ago, I have had many enquiries for explanations of the incidents which occur so frequently in the art treasures of Japan, and also as to any English work in which the stories thus illustrated may be found. Such a book I have unfortunately not been able to name, the majority of English books on Japan being devoted to fairy tales, history or reviews of Japanese matters and general accounts of Japanese travels. I then formed the intention of endeavouring myself to produce such a book, and on consulting my colleague, Mr. Lee, he not only cordially approved of my design but Offered to assist me in every way possible towards its execution, and the present little volume is the result. In its preparation many unlooked for difficulties arose, such as, a scarcity of original Japanese authorities on some of the subjects; a difficulty in finding suitable treasures with which to illustrate some Of the stories; and others whichit is needless to specify. The tales, such as they are, are all constructed from the best available Japanese authorities, in most cases much of the original which is of the nature of mere padding is omitted; and, in conclusion, the little work is not intended for the serious study of historians or philosophers, but is merely a humble contribution towards a know ledge of Japanese art, such as may, it is hoped, appeal to admirers Of the same.

The Japanese have long sought inspiration and legitimacy from the written record of their ancient past. The shaping of bygone eras to contemporary agendas began at least by the early eighth century, when the first court histories, namely the Kojiki and the Nihon shoki, were compiled. Since the late nineteenth century, historians have extensively mined these texts and other written evidence and by the late 1970s had nearly exhausted their meager sources. Fortunately for all those interested in uncovering the origins of Japanese civilization, archaeologists have been hard at work. Today, thanks to this postwar "archaeology boom," Japan historians have never been closer to recreating the lives of prehistoric peasants, ancient princes, and medieval samurai. Sacred Texts and Buried Treasures offers substantial new insights into early Japanese history (A.D. 100-800) through an integrated discussion of historical texts and archaeological artifacts. It contends that the rich archaeological discoveries of the past few decades permit scholars to develop far more satisfactory interpretations of ancient Japan than was possible when they were heavily dependent on written sources.
