Tokushi Yoron
The is an Edo period historical analysis of Japanese history written in 1712 by Arai Hakuseki (1657–1725). Differences from previous chronologies Hakuseki's innovative effort to understand and explain the history of Japan differs significantly from previous chronologies which were created by other writers, such as * '' Gukanshō'' (circa 1220) by Jien, whose work evidenced a distinctly Buddhist perspective; or * '' Jinnō Shōtōki'' (1359) by Kitabatake Chikafusa, whose work evidenced a distinctly Shinto perspective; or * ''Nihon Ōdai Ichiran'' (1652) by Hayashi Gahō, whose work evidenced a distinctly neo-Confucian perspective.
