The ''Jinnô Shôtôki'', or "Record of the Orthodox Transmission of Gods and Sovereigns," was a text composed in [[1339]] to [[1343]] by [[Kitabatake Chikafusa]]. It is perhaps the earliest text to explicitly advance a rhetorical argument that Japan is "the land of the gods" (''[[shinkoku]]''), and speaks of a firm political stability centered around the unbroken line of [[emperor]]s, even amidst the disunity of the [[Nanbokucho Period|Nanbokuchô Period]] in which Chikafusa lived.
