What reading level is The Creed of Half Japan book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
D. 570. His reign had not been a very happy or glorious one. In addition to the domestic confusions arising from the introduction of the new religion, there had been disappointments in the foreign policy of the country. His ally, King Seimei of Kudara, had been defeated by the troops of Shiragi and taken prisoner (about 557), a Japanese army in Korea had been defeated by the Shiragi armies in 562, and the province of Mimana had been entirely lost to Japan. When Kimmei lay a-dying in 570, he cha...rged his successor, Bidatsu, not to rest until Mimana had been recovered.
It was not Bidatsu' s good fortune to recover the lost province, and when he died, in A. D. 585, he laid on his successor, Yomei, the same solemn injunction that his predecessor had laid upon him. But the year following his accession, the wife of his brother Yomei bore a son who was destined to restore the fallen prestige of the country. The child thus born was at the first called Umayado, " the Stable Prince, " a name which has been explained by the story (surely a fiction) that his mother, while going the rounds of her house and grounds, was suddenly seized by labour pains, and gave birth to her son in the stable.
