Two ways of governing Japan as seen in the classics: "Shirasu and Ushihaku"

In the two books, the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki, the two concepts of "shirasu" and "ushihaku" appear as ways of governing a country.
On the surface, these two words seem to have similar meanings, but in fact they represent completely different forms of governance.
These two concepts are not mutually exclusive;
rather, we believe that in an ideal governance, these two aspects would have complemented each other.
"Shirasu" does not simply refer to a method of governance, but symbolizes the community spirit that the Japanese people have cultivated throughout their long history.
The idea of ​​the people and the country coming together as one and building a society through fair judgment and mutual trust is still very useful in modern society.
It is also an important guide that shows how we should learn from history and build a society for the future.
