Kofun period
‘The Kofun period (7434/5 {t, Kofun jidai) is an era in the history of Japan from about 300 to
538 AD (the date of the introduction of Buddhism), following the Yayoi period. The Kofun and the
subsequent Asuka periods are sometimes collectively called the Yamato period. This period is the
earliest era of recorded history in Japan, but studies depend heavily on archaeology since the
chronology of historical sources tends to be distorted.
It was a period of cultural import. Continuing from the Yayoi period, the Kofun period is
characterized by a strong influence from the Korean Peninsula; archaeologists consider it a shared
culture across the southern Korean Peninsula, Kyashii and Honshi.! The word kofun is Japanese
for the type of burial mound dating from this era, and archaeology indicates that the mound tombs
and material culture of the elite were similar throughout the region. From China, Buddhism and
the Chinese writing system were introduced near the end of the period. The Kofun period recorded
Japan's earliest political centralization, when the Yamato clan rose to power in southwestern
Japan, established the Imperial House, and helped control trade routes across the region.!2!

Kofun tombs
Kofun (from Middle Chinese kti 4 "ancient" + bjun #4 "burial
mound")(3I[41 are burial mounds built for members of the
ruling class from the 3rd to the 7th centuries in Japan,{5! and
the Kofun period takes its name from the distinctive earthen
mounds. The mounds contained large stone burial chambers,
and some are surrounded by moats.
Kofun have four basic shapes: round and square are the most
common, followed by 'scallop-shell' and 'keyhole.’ The keyhole
tomb is a distinct style found only in Japan, with a square front
and round back. Kofun range in size from several meters to
over 400 meters long, and unglazed pottery figures (Haniwa)
were often buried under a kofun's circumference.

‘The oldest Japanese kofun is reportedly Hokenoyama Kofun in
Sakurai, Nara, which dates to the late 3rd century. In the
Makimuku district of Sakurai, later keyhole kofuns (Hashihaka
Kofun, Shibuya Mukaiyama Kofun) were built during the early
4th century. The keyhole kofun spread from Yamato to
Kawachi—with giant kofun, such as Daisenryo Kofun—and
then throughout the country during the sth century. Keyhole
kofun disappeared later in the 6th century, probably because of
the drastic reformation of the Yamato court; Nihon Shoki
records the introduction of Buddhism at this time. The last two
great kofun are the 190-metre-long (620 ft) Imashirozuka
kofun in Osaka (currently believed by scholars to be the tomb
of Emperor Keitai) and the 135-metre long (443 ft) Iwatoyama
kofun in Fukuoka, recorded in Fudoki of Chikugo as the tomb
of Iwai (political archrival of Emperor Keitai). Kofun burial
mounds on the island of Tanegashima and two very old Shinto
shrines on the island of Yakushima suggest that these islands
were the southern boundary of the Yamato state;l2! it extended
north to Tainai in the present-day Niigata Prefecture, where
excavated mounds have been associated with a person closely
linked to the Yamato kingdom.!6)

Yamato rule is usually believed to have begun about 250 AD,
and it is generally agreed that Yamato rulers had keyhole-
kofun culture and hegemony in Yamato until the 4th century.
Autonomy of local powers remained throughout the period,
particularly in Kibi (the present-day Okayama Prefecture),
Izumo (current Shimane Prefecture), Koshi (current Fukui and
Niigata Prefecture), Kenu (northern Kants), Chikushi
(northern Kyushu), and Hi (central Kyuishi). During the 6th
century, the Yamato clans began to dominate the southern half
of Japan. According to the Book of Song, Yamato relationships
with China probably began in the late 4th century.
‘The Yamato polity, which emerged by the late sth century, was
distinguished by powerful clans (Sik, gozoku). Each clan was
headed by a patriarch (EGE, Uji-no-kami), who performed
sacred rituals to the clan's kami (objects of worship) to ensure
its long-term welfare. Clan members were the aristocracy, and
the royal line which controlled the Yamato court w:
zenith. Clan leaders were awarded kabane, inherited title:
denoting rank and political standing which replaced family
names.
‘The Kofun period is called the Yamato period by some Western
Iron helmet and armour with gilt

scholars, since this local chieftainship became the imperial dynasty at the end of the period.
However, the Yamato clan ruled just one polity among others during the Kofun era. Japanese
htlps:Yon.wikipedia.orgwkiofun_period
51242610/2022, 23:66 Kolun period - Wikipedia
archaeologists emphasise that other regional chieftainships (such as Kibi) were in close contention
for dominance in the first half of the Kofun period; Kibi's Tsukuriyama Kofun is Japan's fourth-
largest.
‘The Yamato court exercised power over clans in Kyaishii and
Honshi, bestowing titles (some hereditary) on clan chieftains.
The Yamato name became synonymous with Japan as Yamato
rulers suppressed other clans and acquired agricultural land.
Based on Chinese models (including the adoption of the
Chinese written language), they began to develop a central
administration and an imperial court attended by subordinate
clan chieftains with no permanent capital. Powerful clans were
the Soga, Katsuragi, Heguri and Koze clans in the Yamato and
Bizen Provinces and the Kibi clans in the Izumo Province. The Otomo and Mononobe clans were
military leaders, and the Nakatomi and Inbe clans handled rituals. The Soga clan provided the
government's chief minister, the Otomo and Mononobe clans provided secondary ministers, and
provincial leaders were called kuni no miyatsuko. Craftsmen were organized into guilds.

Territorial expansion
In addition to archaeological findings indicating a local monarchy in Kibi Province as an important
rival, the legend of the 4th-century Prince Yamato Takeru alludes to the borders of the Yamato and
battlegrounds in the region; a frontier was near the later Izumo Province (eastern present-day
Shimane Prefecture). Another frontier, in Kyiishii, was apparently north of present-day Kumamoto
htlps:Yon.wikipedia.orgwkiofun_period e1242610/2022, 23:66 Kolun period - Wikipedia
Prefecture. According to the legend, there was an eastern land
in Honshii "whose people disobeyed the imperial court” and
against whom Yamato Takeru was sent to fight. It is unclear if
the rival country was near the Yamato nucleus or further away.
Kai Province is mentioned as a location where prince Yamato
Takeru traveled on his military expedition.
The period's northern frontier was explained in Kojiki as the
legend of Shido Shogun's (P4i848H, "Shoguns to four ways")
expedition. One of four shdguns, Obiko set out northward to
Koshi and his son Take Nunakawawake left for the eastern
states. The father moved east from northern Koshi, and the son

moved north; they met at Aizu, in present-day western Fukushima Prefecture. Although the legend
is probably not factual, Aizu is near southern Tohoku (the northern extent of late-4th-century
keyhole-kofun culture).
Okimi
During the Kofun period, an aristocratic society with militaristic rulers developed. The period was
a critical stage in Japan's evolution into a cohesive, recognized state. The society was most
developed in the Kinai region and the ¢
Chinese court for confirmation of royal titles.

While the rulers’ title was officially "King", they called
themselves "Okimi" (AZ, "Great King") during this period.
Inscriptions on two swords (the Inariyama and Eta Funayama
Swords) read Amenoshita Shiroshimesu (34% F ; “ruling
Heaven and Earth") and Okimi, indicating that the rulers
invoked the Mandate of Heaven. The title Amenoshita
Shiroshimesu Okimi was used until the 7th century, when it
was replaced by Teno.
Clans
Many of the clans and local chieftains who made up the
Yamato polity claimed descent from the imperial family or
kami. Archaeological evidence for the clans is found on the
Inariyama Sword, on which the bearer recorded the names of
his ancestors to claim descent from Obiko (AZ, recorded in
the Nihon Shoki as a son of Emperor Kogen). A number of
clans claimed origin in China or the Korean Peninsula.
Ishibutai Kofun, a late kofun in Nara
Prefecture
During the 5th century, the Katsuragi clan (2§49%E€, descended from the legendary grandson of
Emperor Kagen) was the most prominent power in the court and intermarried with the imperial
family. After the clan declined, late in the century, it was replaced by the Otomo clan. When
Emperor Buretsu died with no apparent heir, Otomo no Kanamura recommended Emperor Keitai

(a distant imperial relative in Koshi Province) as the new monarch. Kanamura resigned due to the
failure of his diplomatic policies, and the court was controlled by the Mononobe and Soga clans at
the beginning of the Asuka period.
Society
Toraijin
Toraijin refers to people who came to Japan from abroad, including mainland Chinese who
inhabited ancient Japan via the Ryukyu Islands or the Korean Peninsula. They introduced
numerous, significant aspects of Chinese culture to Japan. Valuing Chinese knowledge and
culture, the Yamato government gave preferential treatment to toraijin.!7] According to the 815
book, Shinsen Sh@jiroku, 317 of 1,182 clans in the Kinai region of Honshii were considered to have
foreign ancestry. 163 were from China, 104 from Baekje ("Paekche" in the older romanization), 41
from Goguryeo, 6 from Silla, and 3 from Gaya.'8] They may have immigrated to Japan between
356 and 645.
Chinese migration
According to the Shinsen Shajiroku (used as a directory of aristocrats), Chinese immigrants had
considerable influence.[] The Yamato imperial court edited the directory in 815, listing 163
Chinese clans.
htlps:Yon.wikipedia.orgwkiofun_period 91242610/2022, 23:66 Kolun period - Wikipedia
According to Nihon Shoki, the Hata clan (descendants of Qin
Shi Huang)!9! arrived in Yamato in 403 (the fourteenth year of
Ojin) as the vanguard of 120 provinces. According to the
Shinsen Shéjiroku, the Hata clan were dispersed throughout a
number of provinces during the reign of Emperor Nintoku and
forced to practice sericulture and silk manufacturing for the
court. When the finance ministry was set up in the Yamato
court, Hata no Otsuchichi became chief of several departments
(AS; Tomo no miyatsuko) and was appointed Ministry of the
Treasury (Ai&@; Okura no jo); the heads of the family were
apparently financial officials of the court.
In 409 (the twentieth year of Ojin), Achi no omi (Ja]R0(82E)—
ancestor of the Yamato-Aya clan, which was also composed of
Chinese immigrants—arrived with immigrants from 17
districts. According to the Shinsen Shajiroku, Achi received
permission to establish the province of Imaki. The Kawachi-

no-Fumi clan, descendants of Gaozu of Han, introduced elements of Chinese writing to the Yamato
court.
The Takamuko clan is descended from Cao Cao. Takamuko no Kuromaro observed the Taika
Reforms.[101
Korean migration
htlps:Yon.wikipedia.orgwkiofun_period
01242501/2002, 2356 Kolin poiod- Wikipedia
Some of the many Korean immigrants who settled in Japan beginning in the 4th century were the
progenitors of Japanese clans. According to Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, the oldest record of a Silla
immigrant is Amenohiboko: a legendary prince of Silla who settled in Japan at the era of Emperor
Suinin, possibly during the 3rd or 4th centuries.
Baekje and Silla sent their princes as hostages to the Yamato court in exchange for military
support.#]f21[131[4] King Muryeong of Baekje was born in Kyushu (483%) of Japan as the child of
a hostage in 462,""5] and left a son in Japan who was an ancestor of the minor-noble Yamato no
Fubito (#182, "Scribes of Yamato") clan. According to the Shoku Nihongi (#i Hl #2), Yamato no
Fubito's relative (Takano no Niigasa) was a 1oth-generation descendant of King Muryeong of
Baekje who was chosen as a concubine for Emperor Kénin and was the mother of Emperor
Kanmu. In 2002, Emperor Akihito confirmed his ancient royal Korean heritage through Emperor
Kanmu.6)
Culture
Language
Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans wrote historical accounts primarily in Chinese characters, making
original pronunciation difficult to trace. Although writing was largely unknown to the indigenous
Japanese of the period, the literary skills of foreigners seem to have been increasingly appreciated
by the Japanese elite. The Inariyama Sword, tentatively dated to 471 or 531, contains Chinese-
character inscriptions in a style used in China at the time.""71
htlps:Yon.wikipedia.orgwkiofun_period sa82610/2022, 23:66 Kolun period - Wikipedia
Haniwa
‘The cavalry wore armour, carried swords and other weapons,
and used advanced military methods similar to those of
Northeast Asia. Evidence of the advances is seen in haniwa (3H
, "clay ring"), clay offerings placed in a ring on and around
the tomb mounds of the ruling elite. The most important of
these haniwa were found in southern Honshii (especially the
Kinai region around Nara Prefecture) and northern Kyushii.
Haniwa grave offerings were sculpted as horses, chickens,
birds, fans, fish, houses, weapons, shields, sunshades, pillows,
and male and female humans. Another funerary piece, the
magatama (4) "curved jewel"), became symbolic of
imperial power.
Introduction of material culture
Much of the material culture of the Kofun period demonstrates
Haniwa soldier in keiko armor
that Japan was in close political and economic contact with continental Asia (especially with the
southern dynasties of China) via the Korean Peninsula; bronze mirrors cast from the same mould
have been found on both sides of the Tsushima Strait. Irrigation, sericulture, and weaving were
brought to Japan by Chinese immigrants, who are mentioned in ancient Japanese histories; the

Asuka period
The introduction of Buddhism in 538 marked the transition
from the Kofun to the Asuka period, which coincided with the
reunification of China under the Sui dynasty later in the
century. Japan became deeply influenced by Chinese culture,
adding a cultural context to the religious distinction between
the periods.

kingdoms

Chinese records
According to the Book of Sui, Silla and Baekje greatly valued relations with the Kofun-period Wa
and the Korean kingdoms made diplomatic efforts to maintain their good standing with the
Japanese.9) The Book of Song reported that a Chinese emperor appointed the five kings of Wa in
451 to supervise military Affairs of Wa, Silla, Imna, Gara, Jinhan and Mahan. 2°)

According to the Nihon Shoki, Silla was conquered by the Japanese Empress-consort Jingii in the
third century..24 However, due to lack of evidence,!#2! this story is considered to be mythological
in nature. It reported that the prince of Silla came to Japan to serve the emperor of Japan,!23] and
lived in Tajima Province. Known as Amenohiboko, his descendant is Tajima Mori.24] According to
Kojikil5] and Nihon Shoki,26) Geunchogo of Baekje presented stallions, broodmares and trainers
to the Japanese emperor during Emperor Ojin's reign.(27)
Korean records
‘The Samguk sagi (Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms) reported that Baekje and Silla sent their
princes as hostages to the Yamato court in exchange for military support to continue their military
campaigns; King Asin of Baekje sent his son (Jeonji) in 397,28! and King Silseong of Silla sent his
son Misaheun in 402./29] Hogong, from Japan, helped to found Silla.{3°]
According to the Gwanggaeto Stele, Silla and Baekje were client states of Japan. Korea says that
part of the stele can be translated in four different ways, depending on punctuation and supplying
missing characters.'3"] The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences investigated the stele and reported
that it reads, "Silla and Baekje were client states of Japan" {321

Under an agreement reached at the 2001 Japan-South Korea summit, Japanese and South Korean
historians conducted joint historical research in two phases, including the relationship between
Japan and the Korean Peninsula during the Kofun period. The point at issue was the "Mimana
Nihon-fu" {£888 4S##) which was said to be the governing institution Japan established in Korea
at that time. After the controversy, Japanese and South Korean historians agreed that there were
Japanese in the south of Korea and that the term "Mimana Nihon-fu" was not used at the time and
should not be used as it was misleading. However, they could not agree on the position of the
Japanese people in Korea at that time. The Japanese side claimed that the institutions established
in Korea by the Japanese people were not under the control of Koreans, but were operated
independently by the Japanese people and conducted diplomatic negotiations with the Gaya
confederacy. On the other hand, the South Korean side claimed that the agency was the diplomatic
office of Gaya, which employed the Japanese as bureaucrats of Gaya. The collaboration ended in
2010 with the publication of a final report describing the above. The full text of the minutes
concerning the joint research is disclosed by the Japanese side.!331[34II351[361I37]
