## What is Myths of Japan KOJIKI?

If it is said there are many kami in Japan, would that seem strange?
Japanese believe there are kami for everything that sustains life; kami of the sun, mountains, grain, ships, rocks, just to name a few. 
We both feared and lived in thanks of the great force called nature, as well as the blessings that resulted from it.

The Shinto faith has continued for thousands of years, and in the present day the kami can still be seen being worshiped.
Even everyday Japanese words like mottainai ("waste") refer to the regret that comes from the wasting of a kami’s power.

In this application, the myths of Japan from over 1300 years ago, known collectively as the KOJIKI, are assembled and presented in an easy-to-read storyboard format.
Beginning with the story of the birth of the Japanese archipelago, the KOJIKI vividly describes the process of the kami as they created Japan; depicted peacefully at times, painfully at others.
We hope while enjoying the KOJIKI, you find interest in the country of Japan and the Shinto faith.

And especially to those overseas, we hope you come to enjoy the myths of our country.

Gratefully yours.

### 3/5 — Keep writing !

*2024-02-09, version 1.5.0*

Absolutely wonderful! The story telling is amazing and illustrations are amazing, but there’s only one episode :(( please continue to make more ! Still, I would recommend getting the app because it’s free and the one episode is very informative.

### 5/5 — カミ ノ クニ、トワ ニ サカエ アレ

*2022-12-19, version 1.5.0*

カミシバイ デ、イチブン ズツ モドセタラ ウレシイ デス。

### 5/5 — 日本で日本人に産まれてよかった

*2022-03-15, version 1.5.0*

産まれてこの方24年、自国のことについて何も知らず生きてきたことを恥じました

このアプリのおかげで自分たちの国の成り立ちや偉大な先人たちの想いを垣間見ることができました
これからも勉学に取り組み、この国の行く末について真剣に考えていかねばと思いました

我が国が誇る伝統、歴史、文化を後世に継承していくためにも1人でも多くの日本人に、このアプリが広がってほしいです

### 5/5 — :/

*2020-10-19*

I don’t know if it is good because the update isn’t letting me access it but the cover artwork is nice :)

### 2/5 — 娘のために…

*2020-08-11, version 1.5.0*

娘の宿題で、「読書をしよう」とゆう、宿題があったので、とりました。図濃く勉強になりました、

### 4/5 — Good story & art but no music, sound and update problems

*2020-04-16, version 1.5.0*

I loved this app until the end. I’d like to learn about the next part of the Kojiki story.  However, there was no sound and music.  I use an iPhone 8.  There seemed to be question mark and music note icons in the background.  I’m not sure what they were for.  Thanks though, I really enjoyed the story and graphics.

### 5/5 — 聴きやすくわかりやすい

*2020-04-15, version 1.5.0*

話が飛んだなぁや、あれ？と感じる事がありますが、わかりやすく簡潔・短文にまとめてあり、幅広い年齢層の人に手軽に楽しめる内容になっていると感じました。
初めての人が詳しく知りたいと本を手に取るきっかけにも良いですし、読んだことのある人はこう言う内容だったなと思い出すきっかけになる良アプリと思われます。

出勤の道中の暇つぶしに丁度よく聞かせて頂きました。
他の書物も手掛けてくださることを楽しみにしております。

一つ希望は、音量のバラ付きの調整をお願いしたいです。
ナレーションの声に合わせた音量で聴いていると、台詞になると大音量でビックリする上に耳が痛く、台詞音量に合わせるとナレーションが聴き取りづらく一々スマホの音量調整をしなければならず困っています。

### 5/5 — 良いと思います

*2020-02-21, version 1.5.0*

話の大筋はこれを見ると理解出来るかと思います。ただ短くキュッとしている分省かれてしまっているところも多々あります。省かれている分に関してはこれを見た後に気になった方々が詳しく好きなように学べるように出来ているのかも？っと考えてみるとこのくらいが丁度良い気も致します。よって星5評価させて頂きます♪

### 5/5 — 面白いです‼︎

*2019-10-03, version 1.4.4*

お話をもっと追加して欲しいです。
楽しみにしています！

### 5/5 — 豆知識が多い！

*2019-09-18, version 1.4.4*

紙芝居のようで、誰でもお話の概要が理解できると思う。
豆知識が豊富なので、ゆかりのある神社や神々の繋がりがわかりやすいよ。
実在する場所が沢山出てくるので、日本は本当に数多の神が存在する国なんだなと実感できた。いつか行ってみたい！
でも、一つ一つのお話がちょっと長いのでスキップ機能が欲しいなとは思う。
