English: The name of `Yamato no miyako' (the city in Yamato) appeared in this article, but there was no such a city that could be called `miyako' (capital) in Kinnai region of Yamato at this period (Places like the Asuka Imperial Palace only had a palace, but they didn't have a town).
Japanese: この記事に「倭京」の名がみえるが、この時期に畿内大和には未だ「京」と呼べるような都市は無い（飛鳥宮等は宮殿のみで市街地は持たない）。
English: Therefore, it is believed that Yamato no miyako refers to Dazai-fu, the only city that existed in Japan at that time.
Japanese: これは当時日本に存在していた唯一の都市である大宰府のことと考えられる。
English: The local ruling families such as OKIDA no Esaka or OKIDA no Wakami were active in this rebellion.
Japanese: この乱では、大分恵尺（えさか）・大分稚臣（わかみ）等の九州の豪族が活躍している。
English: In Kashima, Saga Prefecture, customs like eating funan kogui (local cuisine of Kashima city, Saga prefecture), which was associated with the Jinshin Rebellion still continued.
Japanese: ふなんこぐい等のような壬申の乱に因む風習が残るのは、佐賀県鹿島である。
English: As described below, the Taika Reforms is gekokujo (an inverted social order when the lowly reigned over the elite) coup in which the local ruling families in Kinai region in Yamato killed the emperor of the Kyushu dynasty and seized the power of the emperor in 695.
Japanese: 以下のことから「大化の改新」は、695年に畿内大和の豪族が九州王朝の天皇を殺害し皇権を簒奪した下克上のクーデターである。
English: The article was intended to describe the Fujiwara clan's achievements on gaining political power while it was intended to keep the fact of the seizure of power secret, which led to the falsification of the year and the background.
Japanese: 一方では藤原氏の政権掌握の功績は記述したいが、他方では皇権簒奪の事実は隠匿したいという欲求から生まれた年代・背景を改竄した記事であると考えられる。
English: The article on `the Taika Reforms' of "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan) just described the emerging local ruling families
Japanese: 『日本書紀』の「大化の改新」に関する記事からは、新興勢力の豪族を誅した程度である。
English: From the article, it's completely unknown as to why the government was reformed or was innovated.
Japanese: 何故、政権を改新したり、改革したりすることができたのか全く不明である。
English: If the previous government had been overthrown and a major reform which can be recorded in history books had been accomplished, the overthrown government must have had political power and must have maintained a political system over a long period of time before that.
Japanese: もし既存の権力を倒して史書に記すような政治の大改革を行ったのであれば、倒された権力は、それ以前長期に亘り権力を掌握し、政治体制を維持してきた者でなければならない。
English: However, according to the "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan), the history of the overthrown Soga clan is shorter than 100 years, meaning they were an emerging force, and the force that overthrew the Soga clan consisted of emperors for generations, the persons in paramount authority.
Japanese: しかし『日本書紀』の記述では、倒された蘇我氏の歴史は100年にも満たないような新興勢力であり、倒した側は代々の天皇であり最高権力者である。
English: The "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan) states that `Kori' (district, county) was established at the time of `the Taika Reforms.'
Japanese: 『日本書紀』は「大化の改新」の時に「郡（こおり）」が成立したと記されている。
English: The term, `kori' (郡) was used after the establishment of Taiho Ritsuryo (Taiho Code), and documents (mokukan [narrow, long, and thin pieces of wood strung together that were used to write on in ancient times]) which contained `kori' (評) discovered before that..
Japanese: 「郡」と言う用語が用いられるのは、大宝律令制定以降であり、それ以前は「評（こおり）」を使っていた文書（木簡類）が見つかっている。
English: Under article one of Kaishin no Mikotonori (the Imperial Reform Edict) on New year's day in 646, the abolishment of private land owned by citizens was set forth, but after 646, territorial right of buqu (a serf) or manor owned by Tomonomiyatsuko (the chief of various departments at the Imperial Court) or Tomonomiyatsuko (the chief of various departments at the Imperial Court) were approved.
Japanese: 646年正月の改新の詔の第一条で公地公民、（私地私民の廃止）をうたっていながら646年から後も伴造（とものみやつこ）、国造（くにのみやつこ）が所有する部曲（かきべ）や田荘（たどころ）の領有権が認められていた。
English: However, those terms, koseki (the household registers), keicho (the yearly tax registers), and Handen Shuju (periodic reallocations of rice land) were terms used for the first time in the Taiho Ritsuryo (Taiho Code), and they never appeared in documents before that.
Japanese: だが、戸籍・計帳・班田収授は大宝律令で初めて見られる用語であり、それ以前の文書には出てこない。
English: An article during July, in 645 of the "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan) contains an article where `myojin (a gracious deity) Gyou (the reign of the Emperor) Japanese Emperor' was shown to the envoys from Goguryeo (kingdom of Korea) or Kudara (Baekje, Paekche), which was the first case of country name, `Nihon' (Japan), which was used in Japan.
Japanese: 『日本書紀』大化元年七月の条に高句麗や百済の使者に「明神御宇日本天皇」と示したという記事があり、日本における「日本」という国号の最初の使用例となっている。
English: However, in the official history of China ("Jiu Tang Shu" [Old Tang History] or "Shin To-jo" [New Book of Tang]), the name of the country of Japan changed from `Wa' to `Nihon' (Japan) at the end of the seventh century.
Japanese: しかし、中国の正史（『旧唐書』『新唐書』など）で日本の国号が「倭」から「日本」に変わっているのは7世紀末である。
English: According to the Kyushu era based on the Kyushu theory such as "Nichureki" (Dual History), the first year of Taika period is 695.
Japanese: 『二中歴』など九州王朝説九州年号では、大化（大和）元年は695年である。
English: Gengo (an era name) are usually successive, but in "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan), the names of the era from Taika through until Taiho was skipped or missing.
Japanese: 元号は連続するものであるが、『日本書紀』では、大化から大宝の間の年号が飛んだり無かったりしている。
English: Fujiwara-kyo (the Imperial capital of Japan for sixteen years between 694 and 710), the first full-scale Miyakonojo (capital) under Yamato kingship was constructed in 694.
Japanese: ヤマト王権初の本格的都城である藤原京が建設されたのは694年である。
English: The imperial court was unlikely to construct a capital called Fujiwara-kyo which contains the name of a vassal despite the existence of the Fujiwara clan.
Japanese: 藤原氏という一族がいるのに藤原京という家臣の名の付く都を朝廷が建設することはない。
English: Because FUJIWARA no Fuhito played the major role in `the Taika Reforms,' only Fuhito of NAKATOMI no Kamatari's sons were granted the family name of Fujiwara.
Japanese: 藤原不比等が「大化の改新」の主役だから中臣鎌足の息子のうち不比等だけが藤原姓なのである。
English: It would appear that Fuhito, who was granted the name of Fujiwara due to his achievement in`the Taika Reforms,' later gave his father, NAKATOMI no Kamatari his achievements as well as the name of the Fujihara clan.
Japanese: 「大化の改新」の功績で不比等が藤原姓を賜り、父の中臣鎌足には不比等が自分の功績と藤原姓を後で贈ったと考えられる。
English: Emperor Kotoku, who is said to have ascended to the throne in 645, and Emperor Monmu, who is said to have ascended to the throne in 696, referred to themselves as Prince Karu before their enthronement.
Japanese: 645年即位とされる孝徳天皇も696年即位とされる文武天皇も、即位前は軽皇子と名乗っている。
English: As described below, the Soga clan is regarded as the imperial family of the Kyushu dynasty (Wakoku).
Japanese: 以下のことから蘇我氏とは九州王朝（倭国）の天皇家のことであったと考えられる。
English: It is pointed out that the name of the Soga clan was not a real name in that the integration of the name, Umako (馬子) and the name, Iruka (入鹿) refers to baka (馬鹿) (foolish) or in terms of the name Emishi.
Japanese: 蘇我氏の名は、馬子と入鹿の二人の名を合わせると馬鹿になることや蝦夷など、実名ではないと考えられる点がある。
English: The residence of Soga no Emish was called `Kaminomikado' (literally, gate of the upper shrine) while the child of Soga no Emishi was called `Hazamanomikado' (literally, gate of the valley shrine).
Japanese: 蘇我蝦夷の邸宅が「上の宮門」（かみのみかど）、子の入鹿の邸宅が「谷の宮門」（はざまのみかど）と呼ばれていた。
English: History books such as "Kunitsufumi" (National Record), "Sumeramikotonofumi" (Record of the Emperors), which were to be handed down by the imperial family for generations, were possessed by the Soga clan and were retained at the residence of the Soga clan.
Japanese: 『国記』（くにつふみ）・『天皇記』（すめらみことのふみ）と言った皇室が代々受け継ぐべき史書を蘇我氏が所持し邸宅で保管していた。
English: As described below, Dazai-fu is regarded as the capital (wakyo) of the Kyushu dynasty.
Japanese: 以下のことから大宰府は、九州王朝の首都（倭京）であったと考えられる。
English: The original meaning of `Dazai' is the prime minister of China, and based on that, `Dazai-fu' can be taken as the meaning of `the place where the affairs of state are conducted,' or `the capital.'
Japanese: 「大宰」の本来の意味は中国の宰相（総理大臣）であり、「大宰府」とは「政治を行う所」つまり「首都」という意味に取れる。
English: In ancient times, Dazai-fu, along with Taga-jo Castle, were called `to no mikado,' and `to no mikado' means `another capital far away from the capital, the foreign capital.'
Japanese: 古代において多賀城とともに「遠の朝廷（とおのみかど）」と呼ばれていたが、「遠の朝廷」とは「遠くにあるもう一つの首都・外国の首都」という意味である。
English: In Dazai-fu, koaza (small administrative unit [of a village]) representing geographical names such as `Shishinden' (hall for state ceremonies), `dairi' (Imperial Palace), `Suzaku-mon Gate' still remained, showing that `the place for the emperor' was in Dazai-fu.
Japanese: 太宰府には「紫宸殿」「内裏」「朱雀門」といった地名小字（あざ）が遺存し、太宰府に「天子の居処」のあったことをうかがわせる。
English: The time when Dazai-fu was established while the Yamato kingship was not recorded in history books like the "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan).
Japanese: 『日本書紀』などのヤマト王権の史書に大宰府を何時設置したか記録がない。
English: It is apparent that Dazai-fu was the main place to be defended, instead of Kinai region (the five capital provinces surrounding the ancient capitals of Nara and Kyoto), especially Yamato Province.
Japanese: 守るべき中心が畿内なかんずく大和国ではなく、大宰府であった事は明らかである。
English: (The construction of `Kogo-ishi yama-shiro mountain castle,' ancient mountain castles, were not recorded in the history books of the Yamato Kingship, and they were located from northern Kyushu through to the coastal regions of the Inland Sea lying between the islands of Honshu and Shikoku, and most of Kogo-ishi yama-shiro mountain castles were also concentrated in northern Kyushu).
Japanese: （またヤマト王権に建設の記録が無い古代山城「神籠石（こうごいし）式山城」が北九州から瀬戸内沿岸に存在するが、神籠石式山城の大半も北九州に集中している）。
English: As described below, Dazai-fu is the oldest full-scale city older than Fujiwara-kyo (the Imperial capital of Japan) (in 694), which is the oldest jobosei (a series of avenues running at right angles to each other marked out the system) Miyakonojo of the Yamato kingship.
Japanese: 下記のことから大宰府は、ヤマト王権最古の条坊制都城である藤原京（694年）より古い、日本最古の本格的な都市である。
English: The construction of jobo (Chinese capital) is work to only readjust the land, and it is much easier than constructing fortresses or castle walls.
Japanese: 条坊の建設は単なる区画整理事業に過ぎず、城砦や城壁を建設するより遥かに簡単である。
English: A place with critical facilities needs to be equipped for defense.
Japanese: そこに重要な施設が存在していたからこそ、そこを防衛する設備が必要だったのである。
English: On the assumption that the description of the "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan) is correct, and based upon common sense, Miyakonojo which served as the central function, was constructed and developed enough for materials to be applied before 664 when many materials were put to construct affiliated facilities including mizu-shiro (castles on lakes or marshes for defensive purposes) for defense.
Japanese: 『日本書紀』の記述が正しいとして、常識的に考えれば、多くの資材を投入して防衛のための付属施設である水城等が建設されたとされる664年には、既に本体である都城は存在し、資材を投入するに足りる発展を遂げていたと考えられる。
English: The structural remnants of Kanzeon-ji Temple which were constructed around the middle of the seventh century corresponded exactly to the jobo of Dazi-fu.
Japanese: 7世紀中頃に創建された観世音寺の遺構が太宰府の条坊と正確に一致している。
English: The jobo of Dazai-fu existed around the middle of the seventh century when Kanzeon Temple was built because it is believed that temples and shrines were constructed keeping with the jobo constructed earlier, not that the jobo were constructed keeping with the temples and shrines which were constructed earlier.
Japanese: 寺社に合わせて条坊が建設されることはない、寺社が条坊に合わせて建設されたと考えられることから、太宰府の条坊は観世音寺が創建された7世紀中頃には存在していた。
English: Since 618 was stated during the Kyushu era, it is believed that it was constructed in 618.
Japanese: 九州年号に倭京元年（618年）とあることから、この年に建設されたと考えられる。
English: (Because Seicho [government office] is never moved since its establishment, it is considered that `City planning was available when Seicho [government office] was founded.')
Japanese: （政庁の位置が創建当時から移動していないことから「都市プランは政庁創建当初からあった」と考えられる。）
English: (Miyakonojo was established 46 to 92 years earlier than Heijo-kyo (in 710), which was the first capital of jobosei [a series of avenues running at right angles to each other marked out the system] deploying Seicho (government office) in the north under the Yamato kingship.)
Japanese: （ヤマト王権でこのように北に政庁を配置した条坊制の都は、平城京（710年）以降であり、これより46年～92年早い。）
English: (It is believed that there were castle walls, which were not seen in the capital of the Yamato kingship, in the vicinity of Miyakonojo).
Japanese: （またヤマト王権の都にはない都城周辺の城壁があったとも考えられている）。
English: As described in engi (writing about the history) of Kamado-jinja Shrine, it is said to be `the place for Shijin so,' and it was conveniently located as a capital before 664 when mizu-shiro (castles on lakes or marshes for defensive reasons) was constructed or 618 when Dazai-fu was constructed.
Japanese: 竈門神社の縁起にあるように「四神相応の地」といわれ、首都としての立地条件を備えており、また、これは水城等の建設された664年や大宰府が建設された618年には確定していた。
English: It is 130 to 176 years earlier than Heian-kyo (in 794), the only Japanese-style Feng shui city (Onmyodo [way of Yin and Yang; occult divination system based on the Taoist theory of the five elements]) under Yamato kingship
Japanese: ヤマト王権唯一の日本式風水（陰陽道）都市である平安京（794年）よりも130年～176年以上も早い。
English: As shown in Chikusen-joirei (an ordinance to ordain a court rank to someone who saved a certain amount of money) from 711 to 800, there was no currency used for economy in the Kinai region (the five capital provinces surrounding the ancient capitals of Nara and Kyoto), Yamato Province until the eighth century.
Japanese: 711年～800年の蓄銭叙位令などが示すように畿内大和は8世紀まで通貨経済は皆無であった。
English: As the official of Dazai-fu reported the capital that 'this city is lively with people and blooming as a trading center. It is the most prosperous place in Japan' in the article on October, 769 of "Shoku Nihongi' (Chronicle of Japan Continued), Dazai-fu was an international city of commerce, the most prosperous city in ancient times, and was more prosperous than the capital of Yamato kingship such as Fujiwara-kyo or Heijo-kyo, where only officials lived.
Japanese: だが、『続日本紀（しょくにほんぎ）』769年（神護景雲3年）10月の記事で大宰府の役人が都に「此府人物殷繁。天下之一都會也。」と報告しているように大宰府は国際交易都市であり、役人程度しか住まなかったという藤原京や平城京などのヤマト王権の首都を凌ぎ、古代日本で最も繁栄していた都市であった。
English: According to "Gishiwajinden" (literally, an 'Account of the Wa' in "The History of the Wei Dynasty"), even Naokoku in the third century had 20,000 families (had a population of over 100,000), which was much larger than the population of Fujiwara-kyo or Heijo-kyo.
Japanese: 『魏志倭人伝』によると3世紀の奴国（博多）でさえ2万戸（10万人以上）の人口があり藤原京や平城京より遥かに人口が多かった。
English: In Yamato Province of Kinai region, there was no currency used for economy, but, Wa seemed to have been active in trade as it is stated that 'there is market in cities and trading is monitored by high ranking Wa.'
Japanese: また畿内大和は8世紀まで通貨経済は皆無であったが「國國有市、交易有無、使大倭監之。」とあり倭では交易が盛んであったことが窺える。
English: However, there was no such city that can be called Kyo (capital) during this period (the site of Asuka no miyako [the capital of Asuka] had only a palace and it didn't have a town).
Japanese: だが、この時期に畿内大和には未だ京と呼べるような都市は無く（飛鳥京跡等は宮殿のみで市街地は持たない）。
English: It is considered that Wakyo is Dazai-fu which was the only city that existed in Japan at this time.
Japanese: これは当時日本に存在していた唯一の都市である大宰府のことと考えられる。
English: According to `Dazai-fu excavation and research,' it took about 300 years for construction based on the initial plan.
Japanese: 「大宰府発掘・調査」では、約300年にも亘って当初の計画に基づき建設され続けたことになる。
English: However, it was the only works for land zoning, and some questionable and inconsistent points arose as to why it took 300 years for construction that could be completed within a few months to a few years, how the plan was maintained and implemented for the period of 300 years, what the purposes of the construction was, and who took charge of the work.
Japanese: だが、単なる区画整理事業に過ぎず、数ヶ月から数年で可能な条坊の建設に何故300年も要したのか、300年にも亘って計画を維持する事が可能か、実施した者の正体は何か、目的は何か、などの疑問や矛盾が発生する。
English: The age measurement in current Dazai-fu was not conducted using either the measurement of tree-ring dating (dendrochronology) or radioactive carbon dating, and therefore, it lacks a scientific foundation.
Japanese: 現在の大宰府の年代測定は、年輪年代測定や放射性炭素年代測定等によるものではなく科学的根拠が無い。
English: Based upon scientific measurements, the construction date of mizu-shiro (castles on lakes or marshes for defensive reasons) was ninety years earlier than the construction date in mentioned in the "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan), which was even earlier than the main body of Dazai-fu.
Japanese: 水城の建設等は、理科学的測定によれば『日本書紀』の記述等より90年以上も古くなり、大宰府本体も古くなる可能性がある。
English: According to measurements of radioactive carbon dating performed by Gakushuin University dating laboratory, soil layers of Takeuchi on Dazai-fu remains which includes burnt down soils are about 1600 years old.
Japanese: 学習院大学年代測定室の放射性炭素年代測定によれば、大宰府遺跡の竹内焼土層は1600年ほど前の物である。
English: The "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan) states that Sakimori was placed after 664.
Japanese: 『日本書紀』では、664年以降に防人（さきもり）が置かれたとされている。
English: Since the waka poems of Sakimori were not contained in "Manyoshu" (Japan's oldest anthology of poems) before the eighth century, Sakimori is considered to be placed when the Kyusyu dynasty was destroyed at the end of the seventh century.
Japanese: だが、『萬葉集』には8世紀以前の防人の歌は無いので、防人が置かれたのは九州王朝が滅亡した7世紀末頃と考えられる。
English: Initially, Sakimori was recruited in Togoku (eastern country, eastern provinces, Kanto provinces), but they were recruited only in Kyushu after 757 when the system of Yamato kingshio was established.
Japanese: また当初、防人は東国から徴発されたが、（ヤマト王権の体制が固まった）757年以降は九州からのみの徴用となっている。
English: This is because the establishment of Sakimori was initially intended to conquer Kyushu, and was not intended to defend against foreign enemies.
Japanese: これは防人の当初の目的が外敵に対する防衛ではなく九州制圧にあった為と考えられる。
English: Based on the research on skeleton, there is a theory in anthropology that a group of toraijin (settlers) from northern east of Asia settled down in the northern Kyushu (northern Fukuoka Prefecture, northern Saga Prefecture, western Yamaguchi Prefecture) after the middle of Yayoi period, and conquered or mixed with Jomon-jin people who lived in the Japanese islands, extending their influences across the west Japan little by little, and finally spread to the Kinki region by the Kofun period (tumulus period) (hypothesis by Kazuro HANIWARA).
Japanese: 人類学では骨格の研究により、北部九州（福岡県北部、佐賀県北部、山口県西部）に東北アジア系の渡来人集団が弥生時代中期以後定住し、徐々に勢力を西日本一帯に拡大し、それまで日本列島で暮らしていた縄文系の人々を征服し、あるいは混血しつつ古墳時代までには近畿地方まで広がったとする説（≒埴原和郎の仮説）がある。
English: There is an opinion that the spread of Yayoi-jin people stated in the theory in anthropology extremely corresponds with the expansion of the influences of the Kyushu dynasty stated in the theory of Kyushu dynasty.
Japanese: この人類学が描く弥生人の広がりと九州王朝説の九州王朝勢力の拡大は極めてよく一致すると考える意見がある。
English: The story of the mighty Kyusyu expedition by Emperor Keiko, the story on Chikugo suppression by Empress Jingu were plagiarized from the history books of the Kyushu dynasty.
Japanese: 景行天皇の九州大遠征説話や神功皇后の筑後平定説話などは九州王朝の史書からの盗用である。
English: The article on Emperor Jito's visit to Yoshino in the "Nihonshoki" (Chronicles of Japan) is an article on the emperor's visits to mission troops to the Yoshino area, Saga Prefecture at the time of `the battle of Hakusukinoe' sixty years ago (the troops gathered at the sea of Areake for maintaining confidentiality, and are believed to have taken the course; from the sea of Ariake, the Goto Islands, to Kan).
Japanese: 『日本書紀』の持統天皇の吉野行きの記事は、ひと干支(60年)前の「白村江の戦い」時の天皇の佐賀県吉野地方への出撃部隊視察の記事である（部隊は機密保持のため有明海に集結し、有明海→五島列島→韓のコースを辿ったと考えられる）。
English: It is commonly said that the name of `kyushu' derives from nine countries (Buzen Province, Bungo Province, Chikuzen Province, Chikugo Province, Hizen Province, Hyuga Province, Osumi Province, Satsuma Province) that make up Kyusyu.
Japanese: 「九州」の呼称は9国（豊前国、豊後国、筑前国、筑後国、肥前国、肥後国、日向国、大隅国、薩摩国）からなっていたことに由来すると俗に言われる。
English: In ancient China, the term, `Kyushu' refers to the territory which was directly reigned by an emperor, and it refers to tenka (realm), not to the nine countries.
Japanese: 「九州」という用語は本来古代中国では天子の直轄統治領域を意味するもので、九つの国の意味ではなく天下のことである。
English: (Since the country was customarily divided into nine areas and reigned in China, Kyushu was associated with tenka (realm) (reference; Kyushu [China])
Japanese: （中国で国を九分して治める習慣から九州＝天下、（参考→九州(中国)））
English: "Jiu Tang Shu" (Old Tang History) contains the two articles; "Wakokuden" on Wa and "Nihon-koku den" on Nihon (Japan).
Japanese: 『旧唐書』には、倭ないし日本について『倭国伝』と『日本国伝』の二つの記事が立てられている。
English: This is because Wa (Kyushu dynasty) is a different country from nihon (Japan) (Yamato kingship), and Yamato kingship started to use the name of Nihon (Japan) after Nihon (Japan) was conquered by Yamato kingship.
Japanese: これは倭（九州王朝）と日本（ヤマト王権）とは別の国であり、倭がヤマト王権により征服され、ヤマト王権が日本の名前を使い始めたからである。
English: There is an inscription in the lower part of pedestal of Maitreya statue in Seiryuzan Yachu-ji Temple: 'On April of 666, the Emperor Chugu became ill and monks and 118 followers of Kashiwa-dera Temple made this Maitreya statue to pray for his health as well as happiness of all people.'
Japanese: 青龍山野中寺（やちゅうじ）の弥勒像台座の下框（かまち）部分には「丙寅年四月大旧八日癸卯開記栢寺智識之等詣中宮天皇大御身労坐之時請願之奉弥勒御像也友等人数一百十八是依六道四生人等此教可相之也」という陰刻がある。
English: From this, the Maitreya statue was enshrined when the monks of Kashiaw-dera temple prayed in April, 666 that `Emperor Chigu,' who became ill, would get well.
Japanese: これが丙寅年（666年）の四月に「中宮天皇」が病気になったとき栢寺の僧侶たちが平癒を請願して奉った弥勒菩薩像であることが分かる。
English: However, in 666, Emperor Saimei was not yet alive, and Anahobe no hashihitohime never ascended to the throne.
Japanese: しかし、666年には、既に斉明天皇は亡くなっており、穴穂部間人皇女（あなほべのはしひとのひめみこ）が即位したこともない。
English: From this, it can be said that `Emperor Chugu,' who didn't appear in the official history of Yamato kingship, existed and Emperor Chugu was an emperor of the Kyushu dynasty, too.
Japanese: つまり、この時期、ヤマト王権の正史にはない「中宮天皇」という天皇がいたことになるが、これも九州王朝の天皇である。
English: As described in the articles including "Shoku Nihongi" (Chronicle of Japan Continued), and its Senbun (letters engraved on coins), the first currency issued by Yamato kingship is Wado-kaichin (708).
Japanese: 『続日本紀』等の記事やその銭文が示すとおり、ヤマト王権が発行した最初の貨幣は和同開珎（708年）である。
English: In ancient Japan, currency such as Mumon-ginsen coin (Japan's oldest private silver coin) or Fuhonsen (683) coin existed before the appearance of Wado-kaichin.
Japanese: しかし、古代日本には和同開珎より以前に無文銀銭や富本銭（683年）などの貨幣が存在している。
English: As shown in Chikusen-joirei (an ordinance to ordain a court rank to someone who saved a certain amount of money) (711-800), economy using currency was undeveloped even after the eighth century.
Japanese: また、蓄銭叙位令（711年～800年）などが示すように畿内大和では8世紀になっても通貨経済は未発達であった。
English: As the article in 769 of "Shoku Nihongi"(Chronicle of Japan Continued) states that an official of Dazai-fu reported 'this city is lively with people and blooming as a trading center. It is the most prosperous place in Japan' to the capital, in the northern Kyushu, the economy using currency was already active.
Japanese: だが、『続日本紀』769年の記事で大宰府の役人が都に「大宰府言。此府人物殷繁。天下之一都會也。」と報告しているように北部九州では既に通貨経済が活発であった。
English: That is to say, it is Kyushu where currency such as Mumon-ginsen coin (Japan's oldest private silver coin) or Fuhonsen was issued and was used before the seventh century.
Japanese: つまり7世紀以前に無文銀銭や富本銭などの貨幣が発行されこれらの貨幣が流通していたのは九州である。
English: After the eighth century, the Yamato kingship issued currency including Wado-kaichin based on Fuhonsen of the Kyushu dynasty.
Japanese: 8世紀以後、ヤマト王権は九州王朝の富本銭等を参考にして和同開珎等の貨幣を発行したのである。
English: (Most copper coins including Wado-kaichin were produced in western Japan such as Suo Province [Suzenji, Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture, Anyoji-cho, Chofu, Shimonoseki City]).
Japanese: （和同開珎等の銅銭でさえ周防国（山口県山口市鋳銭司・下関市長府安養寺町）等の西日本で多くが鋳造されていた。）
English: All `Kensui-shi' (Japanese envoys to Sui Dynasty China) and `kento-shi' (Japanese envoy to Tang Dynasty China) up to the seventh Kento-shi (559) were dispatched by the Kyushu dynasty.
Japanese: 「遣隋使」はもちろん、「遣唐使」も7回目（669年）までは九州王朝が派遣したものである。
English: The envoys including ONO no Imoko of Yamato kingship were allowed to accompany Kensui-shi of Kyushu dynasty.
Japanese: 小野妹子らのヤマト王権の者は九州王朝の遣隋使に同伴させてもらったのである。
English: According to the Shozeicho (balance sheets of tax rice) of 'Shosoin Monjo' (document collection of the Nara period kept in Shosoin), rice, salt, sake, chestnuts, are commonly paid as tax.
Japanese: 「正倉院文書」中の正税帳によると、当時の税は、稲・塩・酒・粟などを納めるのが普通である。
English: In `Chikugo Province,' personnel for falconry, gun dogs, balls such as white gem, sapphire, and glass beads were paid as tax.
Japanese: 「筑後国」の貢納物は鷹狩のための養鷹人と猟犬、白玉・青玉・縹玉などの玉類などである。
