Editing Nihon Shoki (section)

== Influences ==
The tale of [[Urashima Tarō]] is developed from the brief mention in {{Lang|ja-latn|Nihon Shoki}} ([[Emperor Yūryaku]] Year 22) that a certain child of Urashima visited Horaisan and saw wonders. The later tale has plainly incorporated elements from the famous anecdote of "Luck of the Sea and Luck of the Mountains" ([[Hoderi]] and [[Hoori]]) found in {{Lang|ja-latn|Nihon Shoki}}. The later developed Urashima tale contains the [[Rip Van Winkle]] motif, so some may consider it an early example of fictional [[time travel]].<ref>{{citation |last=Yorke |first=Christopher |title=Malchronia: Cryonics and Bionics as Primitive Weapons in the War on Time |date=February 2006 |url=http://jetpress.org/volume15/yorke-rowe.html |journal=[[Journal of Evolution and Technology]] |volume=15 |issue=1 |pages=73–85 |access-date=2009-08-29 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060516005834/http://www.jetpress.org/volume15/yorke-rowe.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=2006-05-16}}</ref>
