Japanese History
Shogakukan Shinsho / Unraveling the spell of misleads that have been around since the Edo era! Where was Yamataikoku? Arai Hakuseki, Moto-ori Orinaga, Seicho Matsumoto … The greatest mystery in Japanese history that has been challenged by from the Edo era to the present day. The key to solving this mystery is in "Gishiwajinden," which is the only "primary document". Surprisingly, however, many researchers who have discussed Yamataikoku have neglected the "distance" and "direction" specified in this valuable document. The author uses his experience in life science and bioengineering to reproduce the science and technology of that time (the Three Kingdoms Period of China) and faithfully trace the "distance" and "direction" to explore the location of Yamataikoku. This scientific approach clearly revealed the path that Wei Shi and others took to Yamataikoku on the map. It is a surprising new theory that unravels the spell of misleads from the Edo era.
