To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Japanese legends assert that the first sword was forged in the reign of the emperor Seijin (97-30 B. C. ) ; but this statement is, of course, open to considerable doubt. Copper was, it is said, smelted in Japan for the first time in the year 698, at Inaba, in the province of Suwo ; and in the year 708 the first Japanese copper coin was cast in the province of Musahi. We read in the history of Japan called Ni-pon Ki: "The third year of the reign of Ten-bu-ten-o, white silver was offered to him, ...the seventh day of the third month, by the prince of Tsu-sima. It is the first time that the mines of this metal had been worked in the empire. " 1685 Klaproth adds to this transla tion the statement that it is from this time that the use of silver in Japan dates. In a Japanese work entitled " Ko Dou Dzu Roku, " or " A Memoir on Smelting Copper, " it is said that for about a thousand years the copper from every district was chiefly of the third qual ity, as the Japanese had not learned how to extract the silver ; so that they might be called deficient in manipulation.
