The Imperial Chronicles

Japanese: 皇代記 - こうだいき
The Imperial Chronicles
A chronicle that lists the main events for each reign of an emperor. Many Japanese chronicles are in this format, but there are many different books with the title "Kodaiki" or "Nenki." The best known of these is the "Kodaiki" included in the "Gunsho Ruiju." The book first lists seven generations of heavenly gods and five generations of earthly gods, and then lists the events for each reign from Emperor Jimmu to Emperor Go-En'yu in 1380. It was first compiled during the reign of Emperor Go-Uda (1274-87) and was subsequently rewritten several times.

Japanese:
天皇一代ごとに主要事項を列挙した年代記。日本の年代記は多くこの形態をとっているが,〈皇代記〉あるいは〈年代記〉を書名とするものには同名異書が多い。そのうち一般によく知られているのは《群書類従》所収の《皇代記》である。同書は最初に天神7代,地神5代を掲げ,ついで神武天皇より後円融天皇の1380年まで,一代ごとに記事を列記している。後宇多天皇の在位中(1274‐87)に一応成立し,以後数次にわたって書き継がれたものである。
