高鴨神社探訪の続篇であります。
私的コレクションとしてこの神社のお札を購入させていただいたのですが、
その折りに神社として発行されている由緒誌も同時に購入した。
読み返してみると、そこにはこんな記述もありました。
「神武・綏靖・安寧の三帝は鴨族の首長の娘を后とされ、
葛城山麓に葛城王朝の基礎を築かれました。」との一条。さらに
「この王朝は大和・河内・紀伊・山城・丹波・吉備の諸国を
支配するまでに発展しました。また、第16代仁徳天皇、17代履中天皇、
18代反正天皇の后も葛城氏から出ております。」
「大和朝廷が成立する以前、大和には倭国と葛城国が存在しており、
当神社は葛城国一の宮でありました。」と朗々と記載されているのです。
「現在でも高鴨神社では秋祭りにクリの木を中心に祭祀を行っております。
このことは青森県の三内丸山遺跡に見られるように団栗（どんぐり）や栗を
（有力な栄養源・主食として）食べていたことを示し、
水稲生活以前の形態であると思われます。」
「当神社の祭祀の起源は詳らかではありませんが、
少なくとも約3,000年前・弥生中期から行われており、
日本最古の神社のひとつであります。」とまで記載されています。
また「修験道の開祖とされる役小角は高賀茂氏の直系」という記述も。
葛城山系の金剛山は行者たちが修行してきた山であることも事実。
古代においてこの一族が一定の歴史に関与していたことはあり得るかと。
いずれにせよ、ひとつの興味深い伝承と思われました。

もちろん大和朝廷草創の神武帝などについては、
その実在も含めて歴史事実と実証されてはいないけれど、
関連した事実痕跡は徐々にあきらかになってもいる。
ただただ荒唐無稽な主張とは言い切れないと思います。
考古と神話、歴史事実のあわい領域でその輪廓がうかがえるものとして
このような推論もひとつの可能性として参考にはなる。
日本の神社信仰には民族的経緯がそこに影響していることは間違いない。
そういった部分のひとつの手掛かりとして
ふとした遭遇ではあったけれど、この高鴨神社との出会いは面白かった。

ちょうど北海道北東北の遺跡群が世界遺産として認定されてから
はじめての本格的連休の時期に当たります。
わたしたち夫婦も、道南地域をあちこちと周遊中。
これまではかなり変わった趣味として考古探究をしてきましたが、
どうやら世界遺産登録が追い風になったのか、
多くの同好のみなさんが散見されるようになってきた。
ちょっとウレシイ気がしてきております（笑）。

Jomon Yayoi – Founding Period and Katsuragi Traditions: The Search for Nara and Asuka – 15
The shrine omens I purchased contain a variety of descriptions. It is a good reference to understand the relationship between archaeology, mythology, and historical facts. Hmmm… …….

This is a continuation of my exploration of Takagamo Shrine.
I was allowed to purchase a bill for this shrine for my personal collection.
At the same time, I also bought a copy of the history magazine published by the shrine.
When I read it over, I found the following description in it.
The three emperors, Jinmu, Suiyasu, and Anei, had as their concubines the daughters of the chiefs of the Kamo tribe.
They laid the foundation of the Katsuragi Dynasty at the foot of Mount Katsuragi. The first article of the book. The first article of the text reads as follows.
“This dynasty developed to the point where it ruled over the provinces of Yamato, Kawachi, Kii, Yamashiro, Tanba, and Kibi.
The 16th Nintoku-Tenno also established a dynasty. The dynasty also ruled over the 16th Emperor Nintoku, the 17th Emperor Nichu, and the 18th Emperor Kosho.
The Empresses of the 16th Emperor Nintoku, the 17th Emperor Rinchu, and the 18th Emperor Nanjo also came from the Katsuragi clan.
Before the establishment of the Yamato Imperial Court, there were two provinces in Yamato: Yamato and Katsuragi.
This shrine was the first palace in Katsuragi Province. This shrine was the first shrine in Katsuragi Province.
Even today, Takakamo-jinja Shrine holds an autumn festival with a ritual centering on a chestnut tree.
This is a reference to the fact that chestnuts, or acorns, were a major source of nutrition and staple food, as seen at the Sannai-Maruyama Ruins in Aomori Prefecture.
（This indicates that people ate chestnuts and acorns (as a major source of nutrition and staple food), as seen at the Sannai-Maruyama site in Aomori Prefecture, and
This is a form of pre-paddy rice life.”
“The origin of the shrine’s rituals is not known.
“Although the origin of the shrine’s rituals is not known, they have been practiced since at least the mid-Yayoi period (about 3,000 years ago).
It is one of the oldest shrines in Japan. It is one of the oldest shrines in Japan.
It also states that “Yakuzumi Shokaku, the founder of Shugendo, is a direct descendant of the Takakamo clan.
It is also true that Mount Kongo in the Katsuragi mountain range is a mountain where ascetic ascetics have practiced asceticism.
It is possible that this family was involved in a certain part of history in ancient times.
In any case, this is an interesting tradition.

Of course, the existence of such a person as Emperor Jinmu, the pioneer of the Yamato Imperial Court, has not been proven as a historical fact.
Although the existence of such a person, including the emperor Jinmu, has not yet been proven to be a historical fact
But traces of related facts are gradually being uncovered.
I do not think it can be said that this is just a wild assertion.
It is possible that the existence of the site is a part of the circle between archaeology, mythology, and historical facts.
This kind of reasoning is one of the possibilities.
There is no doubt that the ethnic background of Japanese shrine worship has an influence on it.
As a clue to such a part of the story
It was an interesting encounter with Takakamo Shrine, even if it was only by chance.

It is the time of the first full-scale consecutive holidays since the archaeological sites in northern and northeastern Hokkaido were recognized as a World Heritage Site.
Since the World Heritage Site in the north-northeastern part of Hokkaido was recognized as a World Heritage Site, this is the first full-scale consecutive holiday period for the region.
My wife and I are also touring around the southern Hokkaido area.
We have been exploring archaeology as a rather unusual hobby, but now it seems that the World Heritage registration has become a tailwind for us.
But the World Heritage registration seems to have given us a tailwind.
I am a little bit happy to see so many like-minded people.
I am starting to feel a little happy about it (laugh).

明日香や奈良地方を巡っていると古墳の多さに驚くのだけれど、
それは印象論で実は古墳の多さでは兵庫県が一番だと言われています。
〜國學院大學メディア「ゼロから学んでおきたい「古墳」③」より抜粋。
＜●古墳の数　文化庁埋蔵文化財関係統計資料の「周知の埋蔵文化財包蔵地数」
（平成28年度版）によると、全国には15万9623基の古墳・横穴が確認される。
都道府県別では、①兵庫県１万8851基②鳥取県１万3486基③京都府１万3016基
④千葉県１万2765基⑤岡山県１万1810基－となっている。
一方、北海道、青森県、沖縄県には古墳・横穴が確認されていない。＞
ただし兵庫県などは６～７世紀の「群集墳」爆発的増加期のものが多いとされ、
この群集墳は小型で一族連鎖的な葬送方法とされ、それまでの古墳被葬者とは
階層自体が大きく違っているとされていました。
やはり、大型で「一世一代」的な建造物である古墳の分布としては実質的に
奈良盆地地方は多いのだろうと思います。

この「一世一代」というコトバは日本の王権古墳文化を象徴するかも。
個人に対するリスペクト表現として古墳「建築物」が作られた。
その基本は「土葬」という日本国土在来的な死生観なのでしょう。
きのう触れたようにそういう時代から仏教の伝来拡散を迎えて
釈迦牟尼自身も葬送されたという「火葬」風習が日本に伝来した。
天武帝の皇后であった持統帝は火葬された上で旦那さんの天武帝のために作った
古墳に自らのお骨も随伴させて葬らせたという。
この飛鳥京最後のふたりの天皇は日本社会の変化を象徴している。
日本人の死生観の変化がこの飛鳥京の最期の時期にスタートした。
写真の３番目は宮廷官人であった太安万侶の「火葬墓」のモデル展示。
橿原考古博物館での展示ですが、この墓からはかれの「墓誌」も納められた。
今日われわれの墓石の付随物としての墓誌の初源かと。
この死生観を巡っての日本社会の有為転変はその後ながく続いてきた。
江戸期には広範に火葬が広がっていたけれど、明治維新で神道翼賛体制で
一時期火葬を禁止するという政令も出されたけれど２年程で撤回された。
それは深刻な「土地問題」に起因していたということです。
やはり土葬では国土の狭い日本社会では早晩破綻する。
たぶん日本社会では土地利用と葬送方法の二律背反が常に生起したと思う。

ただ死んだあとの葬送というのは直接その人の「生き方」にも深く関わる。
古墳という形態で送られた先人たちの魂魄、その思いというものも
はるかな後世のわれわれは、その「精神性」をしっかり受け止めていきたい。
つながっていることを重視したいと思うところです。

Japanese View of Life and Death “Burial and Cremation” Exploration of Asuka, Nara – 13
The burial after death is deeply related to the “way of life. The souls of our predecessors are described in this way. As Japanese, we should take it seriously. …….

When you visit Asuka and Nara area, you may be surprised at the number of ancient tombs, but that is just an impression.
But this is just an impression, and in fact, Hyogo Prefecture is said to have the largest number of kofun tumuli.
〜The following is an excerpt from the Kokugakuin University media article, “Kofun Tumuli: What You Need to Learn from Zero (3)”.
＜According to the “Number of well-known burial sites of cultural properties” (2008 edition) of the Agency for Cultural Affairs’ statistical data related to buried cultural properties, Hyogo Prefecture has the largest number of kofun tumuli.
（According to the “Number of Kofun Tumuli” (FY 2008 edition), 159,623 kofun tumuli and yokoana (burial mounds) have been confirmed throughout Japan.
By prefecture, (1) Hyogo Prefecture 18,851 tombs, (2) Tottori Prefecture 13,486 tombs, (3) Kyoto Prefecture 13,016 tombs
(4) Chiba Prefecture: 12,765 (5) Okayama Prefecture: 11,810
On the other hand, no burial mounds or horizontal holes have been confirmed in Hokkaido, Aomori, or Okinawa Prefectures. ＞(6) Hyogo Pref.
However, many of the burial mounds in Hyogo and other prefectures are said to date from the 6th and 7th centuries, when the number of “cluster burial mounds” exploded.
These cluster burial mounds were small and were considered to be a family-oriented burial method, and the hierarchy itself was considered to be very different from that of burial mound burials up to that time.
The hierarchy itself was considered to be very different from that of the burials in earlier burial mounds.
The distribution of kofun tumuli, which are large, “once in a generation” structures, is substantially larger in the Nara Basin region than in other regions of Japan.
I think that the distribution of kofun tumuli, which are large, “once-in-a-generation” structures, is substantially greater in the Nara Basin region.
The phrase “Issei-ichi” may have origins related to ancient tombs.
Kofun “buildings” were created as an expression of respect for the individual.
The basis for this is probably the traditional Japanese view of life and death, “burial in the ground.
As I mentioned yesterday, the spread of Buddhism from such a time period led to the establishment of the burial mound.
The custom of “cremation,” in which Shakyamuni himself was buried, was introduced to Japan.
Emperor Mochito, who was the empress of Emperor Temmu, was cremated and her own bones were buried in a burial mound that she had built for her husband, Emperor Temmu.
Emperor Mochito, who was the Empress of Emperor Temmu, had her own bones buried in a burial mound that she had built for her husband, Emperor Temmu.
The last two emperors of Asuka-kyo symbolize the changes in Japanese society.
The change in the Japanese view of life and death began during the final days of Asuka-kyo.
The third photo is a model exhibit of the “cremation tomb” of Taian Wanpo, a court official.
The third photo shows a model of the “cremation tomb” of Taian Manpo, a court official.
This may be the origin of the epitaph that accompanies our gravestones today.
The changes in Japanese society regarding this view of life and death continued for a long time.
During the Edo period (1603-1867), cremation was widely practiced in Japan, but the Meiji Restoration (1868-1912) led to the Shintoist movement to ban cremation for a period of time.
A decree banning cremation was issued for a period of time, but was withdrawn after about two years.
This was due to a serious “land problem.
After all, burial in the ground would soon fail in the narrow land area of Japan.
Perhaps the dichotomy between land use and burial methods has always existed in Japanese society.

However, after death, burial is also deeply related to a person’s “way of life.
The souls of our predecessors who were sent in the form of burial mounds, and their thoughts and feelings
We, the future generations, would like to take in the “spirituality” of our ancestors.
I would like to emphasize the importance of the connection between the two.

きのう、タイムカプセルという表現を使ったけれど、
現地を探訪し考古資料、展示などに触れ、
それを整理整頓しつつ分析的に時間を過ごしてきて、
時間をはるかに超えて民族のDNAをなまなましく追体験している印象。
このような飛鳥宮のありようを支え現実にしていた民の生き様が
ありありと浮かんでくるように思えるのです。
この時代はまことに波瀾万丈の世紀。
活発に国土の開発が進展し、列島各地域との交易物流も拡大した。
そして白村江海戦へ軍が大動員された。概要は以下。
661年5月第一派遣軍出発。指揮官は安曇比羅夫、狭井檳榔、朴市秦造田来津。
豊璋王を護送する先遣隊で、船舶170余隻、兵力1万余人だった。
第二派：2万7千主力軍。指揮官は上毛野君稚子、巨勢神前臣譯語、阿倍比羅夫。
第三派：1万余人。指揮官は廬原君臣（いおはらのきみおみ）。
北海道に関係する阿倍比羅夫がこちらにも出兵している。
ちなみにかれの北方・粛慎攻撃は658年4月から660年5月にかけて。
越国守であった比羅夫が蝦夷・粛慎征討を行ったと『日本書紀』に記される。
比羅夫は物証として生きているヒグマ2匹とヒグマの皮70枚を献上している。
生態系に津軽海峡のラインは厳にあるので北海道遠征は事実だったと思う。
この時代、北に西に飛鳥の王権は活発な軍事行動を見せている。
中大兄皇子、後の天智天皇の武断的側面が表出したと言えるのだろうか。
そして、白村江への派遣軍の規模は総勢で４万にせまる規模。
人口規模で考えてまことに冒険的で、まさに国家草創の極限的沸騰期。

派遣軍鼓舞に宮廷官女の額田王が有名な檄文とも思える歌を詠んでいる。
「熟田津(にきたつ)に船乗りせむと月待てば潮もかなひぬ今は漕ぎ出でな！」
きっとジャラジャラのハデハデ装飾をまとっていたに違いない（笑）。
まことに激動の時代のクライマックスか。
そして敗戦、その後の国土防衛のため屋嶋城など全国で旺盛な城郭建築。
そしてさらに天智死後672年には壬申の乱という内戦の勃発。

こうした激動の時代を通じて飛鳥はその主要舞台だった。
当然、国のダイナミックな変の続発は旺盛な経済活動をもたらしただろう。
鉄器の生産活動はフル回転だっただろうし、それを支える
各種の経済活動、物流の状況もかつてないほどに盛り上がったに違いない。
戦後復興期の朝鮮戦争特需のように、戦争は活発な産業勃興をもたらす。
橿原考古博物館でのパネル展示のなかのイラストは
考古的物証に踏まえた想像図なのでしょうが、いかにも生き生きとした表現。
こうした経済社会の旺盛な発展が、天武持統の夫婦の時代に至って
飛鳥の地では面積的にも王権活動に手狭になっていったのでしょう。
結果、藤原京、平城京とより広い王権の宮城が必要となった。
白村江の敗戦以降、旧百済の権力機構の中核人材が日本に帰化して
より強大な王権機構が整ってもいったことも関係しているのか。
国のまほろば、日本統一王権の揺籃地、スタート地点が飛鳥。
時代の探訪ブログとしてはいったんここで休止しますが、
これからもライフワーク的に飛鳥のことは思い続けたい、
まるでぞっこん、恋い焦がれるような心境（笑）であります。

Nara and Asuka: A Period of Economic Upheaval
The dispatch of troops to Hokkaido, the Battle of Hakumurage, and the civil war during the Jinshin Rebellion. It was truly a boiling crucible of the times. The economy must have been booming as well. The economy must have been booming.

Yesterday, I used the expression “time capsule.
I have spent time analytically, organizing and organizing the archaeological materials and exhibits
I have spent time analytically, organizing and organizing them, and I have the impression that I am reliving the DNA of the people far beyond time.
I have the impression that I am vividly reliving the DNA of a people far beyond time.
I feel as if the way of life of the people who supported the Asuka Palace and made it a reality
The people’s way of life that supported and actualized the Asuka Palace seems to float vividly in my mind.
This was a truly tumultuous century.
The development of the country was vigorous, and trade and logistics with the various regions of the archipelago expanded.
Then, the army was mobilized to fight in the Battle of Hakuchon River. A summary is as follows.
In May 661, the first group of Japanese troops departed. The commanders were Azumi Hirao, Sayi Betelang, and Pak Shi Qinzou Tada Raizu.
It was an advance party to escort King Toyohzhang, with over 170 vessels and a force of over 10,000 men.
The second group: 27,000 men. The main force of the army. The commanders were Jomo-no-kun-chiko, Geo-sesagami-mae-sin Tsugyo, and Abenohirao.
Abenohirau, who is related to Hokkaido, also went to war here.
Incidentally, his attack on Sukushin in the northern part of Japan took place from April 658 to May 660.
The Nihon Shoki (Chronicles of Japan) records that Hirao, the governor of Koshi Province, carried out the conquest of the Emishi and Sukushin.
As evidence, Hirao offered two live brown bears and 70 brown bear skins.
Since the line of the Tsugaru Straits is strictly in the ecosystem, I think the expedition to Hokkaido was a fact.
In this period, the royal power of Asuka showed active military activities to the north and west.
Could it be said that the military aspect of Emperor Nakataiohito, later Emperor Tenchi, came to the surface?The size of the army dispatched to the Hakumura River was close to 40,000 in total.
Considering the size of the population, this was a truly adventurous and extreme period of national pioneering.
To inspire the dispatched army, the courtesan Nukata-no-ou recited what might be considered a famous proclamation.
Wait for the moon, wait for the tide, row out now!
He must have been wearing a lot of fancy jewelry (laughs).
The climax of a truly turbulent era.
After the defeat in the war, castle construction was vigorous throughout the country, including Yashima Castle, for the defense of the land.
Then, in 672, after the death of Tenchi, a civil war called the Jinshin Rebellion broke out.
Throughout these turbulent times, Asuka was a major stage.
Naturally, the country’s dynamic succession of changes would have resulted in vigorous economic activity.
The production of ironware would have been in full swing, and the various economic activities and logistics that supported it would have been unprecedentedly active.
The various economic activities and logistics conditions that supported them must have been booming like never before.
Like the Korean War special procurement during the postwar reconstruction period, war brought about a vigorous industrial upsurge.
Illustrations in the panel exhibition at the Archaeological Museum of Kashihara, Nara, Nara Prefecture
The illustrations in the panel exhibit at the Kashihara Museum of Archaeology are probably imaginary drawings based on archaeological evidence, but they are very vivid expressions.
This vigorous development of the economy and society led to the period of the couple, Ammu and Mochito, who were the first kings of Asuka in terms of area.
The Asuka area must have become too small in terms of area for royal activities.
As a result, the Fujiwara-kyo and Heijo-kyo Capital and a more spacious royal palace became necessary.
After the defeat at the Hakumura River, the core personnel of the former Baekje power structure were naturalized in Japan, and
This may have had something to do with the establishment of a more powerful royal authority.
Asuka was the cradle of the unification of Japanese royalty and the starting point for the Mahoroba of the country.
I will pause here for a moment as a blog about the exploration of the period, but I will keep Asuka as my lifework.
I would like to continue to think about Asuka as my lifework.
It is as if I am in love with Asuka and longing for her.

「噴水」という言葉の定義はわからない。この石器構造物のことを
「流水装置」というようにも言えるのかも知れない。
日本の「噴水」始原については金沢兼六園まで時代が下るという説もある。
しかし最近2019年段階で橿原考古研究所が結論づけた飛鳥京苑池での
写真の導水装置システムは日本の噴水事始めと言ってもいいのではないか。
橿原考古研究所（正式名は奈良県立橿原考古学研究所）の以下のような紹介が
この古代施設についての意義を語っていると思う。
〜飛鳥の宮殿に隣接する「苑池」は規模も大きく、びっしりと石が
敷き詰められていてその迫力に驚かされます。
中国や朝鮮半島にもまったく同じタイプの苑池は見つかっておらず、
飛鳥時代の日本のあり方を物語る「苑池」の全容を見ることができます。〜
逆に言うとなぜその後、日本国内でこうした苑池・噴水装置が
建築技術として旺盛にならなかったのか、それも要探究だと思われる。
現状ではきわめて特異な遺構として古代史上に出現したというところ。

この苑池の南側の池は水深は30cm程度ということで、
底面にはびっしりと石が敷き詰められてプール状外観を形成している。
そこにこのような導水装置があって、単純に涼を楽しむとしたのか、
わたしの推測のように「水を扱う」技術力を象徴的に見せたのか、
その目的について現状では証言・記録は存在しない。
国際関係に否応なく目覚めさせられた段階の日本国、
白村江敗戦以降の国際情勢下での「外交」の場面を考えれば
日本の技術国力を示すことは一種の「侵略抑止力」だったのだろう。
やはり中国・朝鮮に類例がないというのがミソではないかと。
かの国などからの外交使節が帰国後の本国での報告時に
「日本にはこういう技術がありましたが・・・」と伝わったことだろう。

石をさまざまに加工利用して水を自由自在に扱う建築土木技術に対して
それが全国で城塞建築に応用されると考えれば、
この国を大軍船団で攻略したとしても侵略の勝利を見通せなかっただろう。
やや無謀だったと思える百済救援のための白村江への出兵後の
安全保障戦略としてこの苑池は外交の「武器」になった可能性。
きのうは石材の切石加工技術を見たけれど、この苑池でも
北池底面には写真のように切石でより精緻な石材加工も施されている。
わたしとしては日本の平和共存外交戦略の一環だと強く思えるのです。
そしてそうした観点からすれば唐が日本侵略を諦め、友好関係に転じて
「日本国号・天皇号」を結果的に承認していった東アジア世界の情勢と
重ね合わせられるように思えるのです。
その平和努力が実を結んでその後、苑池造作技術は重要性が低下し、
戦国期以降の兼六園まで顧みられなかった歴史と符合する。

火山列島国土で水田耕作を基本にする国土条件では
必然的に狭い利用可能耕地面積を高める土木建築技術の発展が自明。
やはりこの苑池遺構からはこのような推論が導き出されると思う。
さて現代世界でプーチンのような狂乱独裁者に対してどう国防すべきか、
日本社会の「強さ」が試される事態が再来してもいるのでしょう。

The True Meaning of the Asukakyo “Fountain” Exploring Asuka, Nara – 9
The Asuka-kyo Palace was a place for the Japanese to show off their national defense capabilities by demonstrating to China and Korea that they possessed “dangerous civil engineering and architectural technology. Japanese power that can be converted to military force. The Japanese power that can be converted to military force.

I don’t know the definition of the word “fountain.” I am not sure if this stoneware structure can be called a “fountain.
The origin of fountains in Japan can be traced back to Kanazawa Kenrokuen Garden.
There is a theory that the origin of “fountains” in Japan dates back to the Kenrokuen Garden in Kanazawa.
However, as of 2019, the Archaeological Institute of Kashihara recently concluded that the Asuka Kyoen Pond
The water conducting system in the photo may be said to be the beginning of fountains in Japan.The following introduction by the Archaeological Institute of Kashihara, Nara Prefecture (formally known as the Archaeological Institute of Kashihara, Nara Prefecture)
I think it speaks volumes about the significance of this ancient facility.
〜The “Garden Pond” adjacent to the Asuka Palace is large in scale and is paved with stones.
The “Garden Pond” adjacent to the Asuka Palace is large in scale and filled with stones, and its power is astonishing.
No other garden ponds of exactly the same type have been found in China or the Korean peninsula.
The entirety of the garden pond, which tells the story of Japan in the Asuka period, can be seen here. ~.Conversely, why were garden ponds and fountains not actively used as a building technology in Japan after that?
It is also important to investigate why these garden ponds and fountains did not flourish as a building technology in Japan after that.
At present, they appear in ancient history as extremely unique remains.
The pond on the south side of this garden pond is about 30 cm deep.
The bottom of the pond is covered with stones to form a pool-like appearance.
Is it simply to enjoy the coolness of the water with a water conducting device like this?
Or, as I guessed, was it to symbolically show the technical skill of “handling water”?
There is currently no testimony or record of its purpose.Japan was at the stage where it was forced to wake up to international relations.
Considering the “diplomatic” scene under the international situation after the defeat at the Hakuchon River
Japan’s demonstration of its technological national strength was probably a kind of “deterrent force against invasion.
The fact that there is no precedent in China or Korea is the key.
When diplomatic envoys from other countries reported back to their home countries after returning to Japan, they would say, “Japan had this kind of technology….
When diplomatic envoys from those countries reported back to their home countries, they would have been told that “Japan had this kind of technology.
For architectural and civil engineering techniques that process and utilize stone in a variety of ways and handle water at will.
If one thinks of it being applied to fortress construction throughout the country.
Even if they had invaded this country with a large fleet of warships, they would not have been able to foresee victory in the invasion.
After the somewhat reckless expedition to the Baekchon River to rescue Baekje
This Enchonji could have been a diplomatic “weapon” as a security strategy.
Yesterday, we saw the stone quarrying technique.
The bottom of the north pond is also made of hewn stone, as shown in the photo.
I strongly believe that this is part of Japan’s diplomatic strategy of peaceful coexistence.And from such a point of view, it is very likely that the Tang Dynasty gave up its aggression against Japan and turned to friendly relations with Japan.
and the situation in East Asia, where the Tang Dynasty gave up invading Japan, turned to friendly relations, and eventually approved the “Japanese name and Emperor”.
The Tang Dynasty gave up its aggression against Japan and turned to friendly relations with Japan, and eventually approved the “Japanese name” and “Emperor of Japan.
After the peace efforts bore fruit, the importance of the garden pond construction technique declined, and the garden was not restored until the Kenrokuen Garden after the Sengoku Period.
This is consistent with the history of Kenrokuen Garden, which was neglected from the Warring States period onward.

In a volcanic archipelago where rice paddy cultivation is the basic land condition
It is obvious that the development of civil engineering and architectural technology to increase the usable arable land area is inevitable.
I believe that this is the inference that can be drawn from the remains of the garden pond.
How should we defend ourselves against a mad dictator like Vladimir Putin in the modern world?
The “strength” of Japanese society may be put to the test once again.

飛鳥板蓋宮、浄御原宮の時代というのは文字記録が少ない。
聖徳太子の摂政としての治政時代ころになって仏教導入も積極化。
大阪四天王寺・法隆寺の建立など東アジア世界での政治・文化交流が活性化。
国際関係というものが徐々に喫緊の課題になっていった。
それは中国大陸の「易姓革命」政治動乱によって歴代有数の強権国家・唐が成立。
周辺に大きな脅威となっていったことが刺激になったものと思える。
それまでの「大王権力」によるゆるやかな「日本的」統治権力構造が
強い外圧に直面して、よりハードな国家権力形態を志向させたと思う。
唐が導入した国家権力機構の「律令体制」を導入するとともに
その権力機能を「天皇号」としてより中央集権制を高めたのだと思える。
壬申の乱によって権力を掌握した天武天皇はそれまでの「倭国」を
日本という国号に改め、中国皇帝権力ひいては東アジア世界に承認させている。
この外交は、先人たちの大きな知恵の産物だったように思います。
よく中華皇帝が「日のいずる国」という国家名を認めたと思う。
聖徳太子段階でこの自己表現で対手「日沈む国」の帝に外交国書を出している。
中国皇帝が怒ったという記述はあるけれど結局は承認している。
「むむむ、日沈むとは無礼千万ではないか、われは中華皇帝なるぞ」
「いやそれは単に事実としての地理位置関係を示したものに過ぎませんよ」
尊大極まる中国皇帝体制相手に複雑精緻な外交努力があったに違いない。
そして図表は橿原考古博物館展示パネルからですが、
よく言われるように朝鮮半島地域には多数の「古墳」遺跡が存在する。
日本国内では農業と武器生産の最重要資源である鉄鉱石の産出が
ある時期までなかったことで、朝鮮半島地域での「権益」が広範に存在した。
中国との外交で繰り返し日本がその権益を主張し承認させようと努力したのは
そういった事情がもっとも重大だったのでしょう。
したがって朝鮮半島の諸国家・新羅と百済との対立では
百済が日本側の権益を象徴する存在だったということなのでしょう。
古墳の分布にはそのような関係性が表現されていると思える。
このあたりは現代での国際的歴史学論議でも日韓対立のネタになるという。
近いと言うことは外交として難しい問題にもなる事例といえる。
聞くところでは韓国内では古墳が古い時代の日本との関係を象徴するとして
破却するような動きもあるのだと側聞する。悩ましい問題。

一方で民人の暮らしようも、向上する生産力を反映して
地域間交易の拡大が旺盛に盛り上がっていって
その事情から集住する商業的実質の発展、「都市建設」があったのでしょう。
飛鳥宮という「首都機能」での交易の側面の進化発展があったことは疑いない。
たぶんこうした事情からやがて飛鳥の「狭さ」が問題になっていって
その根本的解決として計画的都市建設、平城京段階に移行した。
政治軍事的事情よりも交易の拡大、経済規模の拡大が
こうした首都移転を必然化させたのだろうと思います。

International Relations and Life in the Asuka Palace Period: Exploring Asuka, Nara – 7
International relations” diplomacy began in parallel with social development and economic expansion. The beginning of troublesome international relations among neighboring East Asian countries. The beginning of troublesome international relations among East Asian neighbors.
There are few written records of the Asuka Itabatamiya and Jomihara Palace periods.
Around the time of Prince Shotoku’s regency, Buddhism was actively introduced.
Political and cultural exchanges in East Asia were revitalized with the construction of Shitennoji Temple and Horyuji Temple in Osaka.
International relations gradually became an urgent issue.
The political upheaval of the “Yi Surname Revolution” on the Chinese mainland led to the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, one of the most powerful states of all time, which posed a major threat to the surrounding region.
This was probably stimulated by the fact that the Tang Dynasty, one of the most powerful states of all time, had become a major threat to its neighbors.
The loose “Japanese-style” governing power structure based on the “great king’s power” that had been in place up to that time
In the face of strong external pressure, I believe that the Tang Dynasty was forced to adopt a more rigid form of state power.
The “Ritsuryo system” of state power structure introduced by the Tang Dynasty was introduced.
The “Ritsuryo system” of state power structure introduced by the Tang Dynasty was introduced, and its power function was made more centralized as the “Emperor-Governor”.
Emperor Temmu, who seized power through the Jinshin Rebellion, changed the name of his country, “Japan,” from “Wa-koku” to “Japa-no-kuni.
Japan” and had it recognized by the power of the Chinese emperor and by extension, the East Asian world.
This diplomacy seems to have been a product of the great wisdom of his predecessors.
I often think that the Chinese emperor recognized the name of the nation as “Land of the Rising Sun.
At the Prince Shotoku stage, this self-expression was used to issue a diplomatic state letter to the emperor of his counterpart “Land of the Setting Sun”.
Although there is a description of the Chinese emperor’s anger, in the end he approved of it.
The Emperor of China is the one who is the Emperor of China.
No, that is merely a factual geographical location.
There must have been a complex and elaborate diplomatic effort to deal with the extremely pompous Chinese imperial regime.
And here is a chart from an exhibit panel at the Archaeological Museum of Kashihara
As is often said, there are numerous “kofun” sites in the Korean peninsula area.
In Japan, the production of iron ore, the most important resource for agriculture and weapons production
Japan’s “interests” in the Korean Peninsula were extensive due to the fact that it did not produce iron ore, the most important resource for agriculture and weapons production, until a certain period of time.
Japan’s repeated efforts to assert and gain recognition of its interests in the region in its diplomatic relations with China
Such circumstances were probably the most critical.
Thus, in the conflict between the Korean states of Silla and Baekje
Baekje probably represented the interests of Japan.
The distribution of kofun tumuli seems to express such a relationship.
This area is said to be a source of conflict between Japan and Korea even in international historiographical discussions in modern times.
This is an example of how proximity can be a difficult diplomatic issue.
Some people in South Korea have begun to dismiss kofun tombs as symbolic of Japan’s relationship with Korea in the olden days.
I have heard that there is a movement in Korea to destroy the tombs because they symbolize the relationship with Japan in the old days. This is a troubling issue.
Meanwhile, the way of life of the people also reflected their increasing productivity
The expansion of inter-regional trade was vigorously growing.
This situation may have led to the development of commercial substance and “city building” in which people gathered and settled.
There is no doubt that there was an evolution and development of the aspect of trade in the “capital function” of Asuka Palace.
Probably because of these circumstances, Asuka’s “smallness” eventually became a problem.
As a fundamental solution to this problem, the planned construction of the city shifted to the Heijo-kyo stage.
The expansion of trade and economic scale, rather than political and military circumstances, made the relocation of the capital
I think that the expansion of trade and economic scale, rather than political and military circumstances, made the relocation of the capital inevitable.
