The Kojiki was written first in 711. It is the oldest Japanese book.

The Nihon Shoki came second in 720.

The Rikkokushi directly follow the Nihongi but are considered separate due to their historical nature

The Kujiki [en] was recognised as a forgery in the Edo period and stopped being used then.

The Kiki [ja] became more prominent in the Meiji period since it was used for State Shinto.
