Azuma Kagami

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Azuma Kagami (吾妻鏡, also 東鑑) is a chronicle of the Kamakura Shogunate from 1180 to 1266. It was compiled after 1266 under the directive of the Hōjō regent and is a record in diary form of events occurring in Japan between 1180 and 1266. Written in a Japanized version of classical Chinese known as hentai kanbun, the massive work was incomprehensible to most Japanese until an edition with furigana glosses was published in 1626.
