- 2. Why I chose this topic Id like to introduce a story of the origin of the Japanesenation Im interested in the location of Yamatai kingdom I like the ancient Japanese history
- 3. About Yamatai Kingdom The book Gishi-wajin-den (the Wei Chih, a Chinese Chroniclesin the 3rd century) The oldest written text about Japan described the route from China to Yamatai Traceable part of the way (but the final destination is the ocean) Last (& Important) part is open to interpretationKoreaKinki Traceable Kinki Theory Kyushu TheoryKyushu
- 4. Two hypotheses Kyushu theoryKinki theorythe geographic proximity ofthe center of political power after GeographyKyushu to China the YamataiGishi-wajin-denconsistent in the direction consistent in the distance There are some large scaleThere is a tumulus whose size &Remains habitationstime fit the description (Yoshinogari, etc) (Hashihaka) Sankaku-buchiFewManyShinjukyo mirrorsThe cradle land of the emperorsThe capital of Japan in this era Kojiki family located in Kinki
- 5. Attracting points of Yamatai (1) Gold Seal (National Treasure) Found in 1784 atShikanoshimain Fukuoka Prefecture Sent from Chinese Emperor to Japanese King (57 AD) the similar seal was sent to Yamatai Kingdom Sankaku-buchi Shinjukyo mirrors Sent from Chinese Emperor to Japanese Queen Made in the same period describedin the Wei Chih Found in a wide area from Kyushu to Kanto(mainly in Kinki)
- 6. Attracting points of Yamatai (2) Himiko Described in the Wei Chih Hashihaka tumulus Relation to Yamato regime Kojiki Established in 712 Amaterasu = The emperors first ancestor Amaterasu = Himiko ? One mythology seems to berelated to Solar eclipse-> Calculation of eclipse can identifythe time of Himikos era
- 7. My guess & opinion Kinki theory seems to be reasonable Why the discussion is endless Relation to the Emperor family Local development
