The Dai Nihonshi (大日本史), literally History of Great Japan, is a book on the history of Japan written in Classical Chinese. It was begun in the 17th century and was completed by 1715 by Tokugawa Mitsukuni, the head of the Mito branch of the Tokugawa family. The format of the book closely resembles the Chinese literary histories in form and structure and is considered extremely accurate.^[1] After his death, the work was continued by the Mito branch until its completion in the Meiji era.^[2]
