The earliest extant document written in Old Japanese,
as opposed to Chinese, is an anonymous composition from the late ninth or early tenth century entitled Taketori monogatari "The Bamboo Cutter's Tale". Considerable numbers of documents exist from the tenth century, and the most important document in Old Japanese is Genji JDonollatari "The Tale of Genji", written sometime between 1001 and 1010.
Japan is thus a nation with an established, documented history, and a nation cognizant of that history. These facts play a role in the interpretation and understanding of the modern language.
