Jinnō Shōtōki
is a Japanese historical book written by Kitabatake Chikafusa. The work sought both to clarify the genesis and potential consequences of a contemporary crisis in Japanese politics, and to dispel or at least ameliorate the prevailing disorder. The text begins with these statements as prologue: History Chikafusa had been a careful student of the book ''Nihon Shoki'' (日本書紀, ''"The Chronicles of Japan"''), and this background is reflected in the narrative structure of his ''Jinnō Shōtōki''. He was also well acquainted with Watarai Ieyuki (度会家行), a prominent Shinto priest at the Ise Shrine. Watarai's life of study significantly clarified the theory of Ise Shinto, and this point-of-view is reflected in the tone of ''Jinnō Shōtōki.'' The work as a whole was written in the years 1338–1341 at Oda fortress in Hitachi Province, Japan (present-day Tsukuba City, Ibaraki Prefecture) and then amended in 1343 at Seki fortress.
