The Sumyeramikoto / Six Dynasties Theory
[edit]![]() | This section may contain an excessive amount of intricate detail that may interest only a particular audience. |
皇命/六朝の説 This theory holds that Emperor Jinmu did not exist, yet is based on the real Agatanusi ("government chief") Ihare, a great-grandson of Ninigi. Ihare is the fourth agatanusi of the Akatsu Dynasty, which is named after Ninigi's father Arfukusadzu who never left Al Jazirä. Ninigi is the actual 國造, the quintessential Kuni no Miyatsuko who left Sumer to found the Akatsu Dynasty in Takatsiho, Kumaso on southeastern Kyushu.
After several centuries under 18 agatanusis, the Akatsu Dynasty was finally eclipsed during the Hakata Era, when three successive dynasties were based in northwestern Kyushu. The Hirosi, Sotsimasu and Iyanaki Dynasties consist of three single agatanusis who have no obvious inherent interrelation beyond proximity. In contrast, the Yamaitsi Dynasty consists of an aunt succeeded by her niece. The Akatsu Dynasty then resurfaced for a father and son sequence before fading into the background again upon the emergence of the Mezura Dynasty. This dynasty contains four to six agatanusis: the first four clearly interrelated, the last two being brothers, and the only question being whether the link between these two groups is actual or contrived (see the Five kings of Wa). Yet geneological or not, the political relation with continental dynasties displays considerable continuity suggesting a coherent insular dynasty. Thereafter, the Akatsu Dynasty resumed with its 21st through 41st agatanusis comprising the third manifestation of a singularly pervasive dynasty which provided 41 out of the 52 agatanusis who span the first 1488 years of the islands' recorded history.
The Sumyeramikoto / Six Dynasties Theory allows for the factuality of the first nine 欠史代 "lacking history generations" whose existence is arbitrarily denied in the Three Dynasties Alternation Theory as well as in other skeptic theories, for no other reason than a lack of elaborate myths fabricated about them. Emperor Sujin hearkens the beginning, rather than the end, of purely fictional accounts. While the first 9 agatanusis are based on real historical personages who were later embellished in accounts which posthumously portray them as "emperors" rather than agatanusi, emperors 10-25 are purely mythological inventions who never existed on the archipelago.
The San Guo Zhi, the Book of the Later Han, the Book of Jin, the Taiping Yulan, the Song Shu, the Book of Qi, the Book of Liang and the Book of Suí are held as historical, even if the Book of the Later Han is not always orthographically precise, as noted by Takehiko Furuta:[1]. The incompatibility of the later "kojiki" and "nihon shoki" with these contemporary historical accounts, their surreal sensationalism and often self-contradictory content as well as admonitions by Tsuda Yokichi, Hidehiro Okada, et al. point them out as the cause of all historiographic confusion. The motives are as obvious as the methodology. The entire Paikchei State was driven from the Korean Peninsula upon its utter defeat by the Tang/Silla Alliance at the Battle of Paikkang in 663. In attempting to re-establish Paikchei as Japan (a term which was never used before 663 in any source, rather appearing for the first time in 670)[2], family relations between the invaders and the Akatsu Dynasty whom they sought to supplant are alleged. One example is King Seng Myeng's wife being portrayed in the kiki as "Seimei" the wife of Agatanusi Tamura. Another such episode is the two-year pregnancy alleged during "Empress Jingū"'s fabricated 200-201 history that repeats the fable of a husband dying in Korea years before his son is born in northwestern Kyushu to a mother who occupies the throne until this miraculous son can rule in her stead. Likewise, the usurpation against Agatanusi Ohotomo by Emperor Tenmu in 672 is retrojected 574 years as an usurpation against Agatanusi Yumusumi which he never suffered by an Emperor Sujin who never existed.
Thus, the Kyushu dynasty theory and the Katsura Dynasty theory each have valid pretexts in the context of a gradual movement from Kumaso to Hakata and from thence to the northeast so long as one refrains from overgeneralizing either theory to the point of mutually-exclusive error. Single-dynasty and dynasty-replacement theories are also plausible, insofar as six existed yet only one recurred, and not through warfare, which was more of an internal affair at Hakata. The one big inter-dynastic war was the Paikchei assault against the Akatsu, which is the only one corroborated by archeological evidence (southeastern Honshu 667-781 and Isawa, Iwate 781-802).

Linguistic evidence for the migration from Sumer to Kumaso is taken from "The Writing on the Wall" Section 7: The Sumerian Problem - what problem?[3] and the etymological relation of -Sumer- to -Sumyeramikoto- is taken from Section 8.2: Samíä vs. Isolate Scorecard Summary.[4] This linguistic evidence is strengthened by the record[5] of Arfukusadzu's Sumerian wife bearing the name -Yorodzuhatatoyo Akitsusi-[1].
While the utter incompatibility of identifying the male Agatanusi Tamura with mythological "Empress Suiko" or her equally mythological emissary "Shotoku" reveals the kiki as largely fictional, the kiki's incorporation of data extracted from an accurate historical source such as the Kunitsufumi, bereft of fantastic tales and deification of historical figures, is detected and revealed rather than being glossed over in a way that misconstrues the beginning of fable as its end. In summary[6]
Akatsu Dynasty pt. 1 (eighteen male agatanusis)
[edit]Roughly equivalent to the Katsura Dynasty envisioned by Kenzaburo Torigoe, only redeemed from being destroyed by the "Sujin Dynasty" by the fortuitous circumstance of Sujin and his 600 years of posterity having never existed.
Ninigi
[edit]Ninigi's epic journey from Sumer to Kumaso, as if it were some small thing needing embellishment, was escalated to a descent from heaven in the kiki.
Hikwoho
[edit]Nagisa
[edit]Ihare 660/02/11-585/04/09
[edit]The kiki embellish Ihare as Emperor Jinmu.
Nunakaha 585/04/09-549
[edit]The kiki embellish Nunakaha as Emperor Suizei.
Sikwitsu Tamatemi 549-511
[edit]The kiki embellish Sikwitsu Tamatemi as Emperor Annei.
Sukitomo 511-477
[edit]The kiki embellish Sukitomo as Emperor Itoku.
Mimatsu Kawesine 477-393
[edit]The kiki embellish Mimatsu Kawesine as Emperor Kōshō.
Tarasi Osihito 393-291
[edit]The kiki embellish Tarasi Osihito as Emperor Kōan.
Futswoni 291-215
[edit]The kiki embellish Futswoni as Emperor Kōrei.
Kuni Kuru 215-158
[edit]The kiki embellish Kuni Kuru as Emperor Kōgen.
Ohohibi 158-98
[edit]The kiki embellish Ohohibi as Emperor Kaika.
Yumusumi 98-??
[edit]Yumusumi is the first agatanusi in the Kunitsufumi not posthumously imperialized by the kiki, which relegate him to the role of a lesser prince while fabricating what some perceive as a new dynasty under "Sujin". The Sumyeramikoto / Six Dynasties Theory agrees with the perception of a separation between Ohohibi and Sujin, but views this less as a difference in kinship and more as a difference in factuality. This theory's uniqueness lies in validating the previous six centuries, which have no conflict with contemporary sources, and discarding kiki myths of the ensuing six centuries which invariably contradict the San Guo Zhi, the Book of the Later Han, the Book of Jin, the Taiping Yulan, the Song Shu, the Book of Qi, the Book of Liang and the Book of Sui.
Imasu ??-??
[edit]Saho ??-24/10
[edit]Yamasiro no Mawaka 24/10-?
[edit]Kanime Ikadzutsi ?-?
[edit]Okinaga no Sukune ?-57
[edit]Hirosi Dynasty 57-?? (one agatanusi, male)
[edit]Hirosi is attested in the Book of the Later Han and was archeologically confirmed in 1784 as noted by Ryuusaku Tsunoda in 1951.[7]
Sotsimasu Dynasty ??-107 (one agatanusi, male)
[edit]Sotsimasu is attested in the Book of the Later Han.
Iyanaki Dynasty 107-172 (one agatanusi, male)
[edit]Iyanaki is alluded to in the San Guo Zhi.
Yamaitsi Dynasty 172-265 (two agatanusis, both female)
[edit]Himiko 172-247
[edit]Himiko is attested in the San Guo Zhi.
Iyo 247-265
[edit]Iyo is attested in the San Guo Zhi.
Akatsu Dynasty pt.2 265-??? (two agatanusis, both male)
[edit]Ohotomowake 265-310
[edit]Wakanuke no Futamata 310-???
[edit]Mezura Dynasty ???-502 (six male agatanusis, see also the Five kings of Wa))
[edit]Mezura I ???-413
[edit]alluded to in the Song Shu
Homeru 413-438
[edit]Homeru is attested in the both the Song Shu and the Book of Liang and is alluded to in both the Book of Jin and the Taiping Yulan. Later he was conflated by pseudo-intellectuals with the kiki's Emperor Nintoku who is more readily identifiable as Wideok of Baekje, who was born at least 85 years after Homeru's death. While the Song Shu's 讚 can be alternately read as -Homeru-, -Tataeru- or -San-, it is never read as "Nintoku". The implausibility of this allegation has led to desperate attempts to save face by equating Homeru with Emperor Richū instead, a theory which has all the strengths of a last-ditch defense of a failed hypothesis.
Mezura II 438-443
[edit]attested in the Song Shu. Pathetic attempts are made to equate Mezura II with either Emperor Hanzei or Emperor Nintoku, while neither of these two theories has a single virtue beyond the implausibility of the other.
Wataru 443-462
[edit]attested in the Song Shu. Specification of Wataru as a prince of Mezura is sometimes construed as implying sonship from Mezura II, but more definitely signifies descent from Mezura I. Attempts to equate Wataru with Emperor Ingyō have led to attributing him with the fatherhood of Okoru and Takeru in addition to sonship from Mezura II, though neither is specified in the Song Shu nor any other source for centuries after Wataru's lifetime.
Okoru 462-477
[edit]attested in the Song Shu. While Okoru is clearly defined as the older brother of Takeru, their collective sonship from Wataru is not. This unattested relation is rather a reflection of desperate attempts to equate Okoru with the mythological Emperor Ankō, who is characterized as the son of his predecessor and as the older brother of his successor.
Takeru 477-502
[edit]attested in the Song Shu, the Book of Qi and the Book of Liang. While Takeru is clearly defined as the younger brother of Okoru, their collective sonship from Wataru is not. Feeble attempts to identify Takeru with Emperor Yūryaku have relied on the invention, centuries after the fact, that this mythological Yūryaku character was suddenly also known as Wakatakeru.
Akatsu Dynasty pt. 3 502-829/07/23 (21 agatanusis, 18 male and 3 female)
[edit]Hikwonusi 502-508
[edit]Hikofustwo 508/5??
[edit]The kiki embellish Hikofutswo as Emperor Keitai, the first such embellishment after over 600 years of Akatsu agatanusis who are not conflated with the mythological emperors of the kiki. This resumption of the narrative may give the impression of a new "Echizen Dynasty" as described by Hidehiro Okada, but is merely a resumption of the Akatsu Dynasty after a more-than-60-year interlude and intermarriage with Kosi peoples from Kosi no Kuni.
Magari no Ohoye 5??/-536/01/25
[edit]The kiki embellish Magari no Ohoye as Emperor Ankan.
Hinokuma no Takata 536/01/15-539/03/15
[edit]The kiki embellish Hinokuma no Takata as Emperor Senka.
Kuni Osiharakihironiha 539/03/15-571/04/15
[edit]The kiki embellish Kuni Osiharakihironiha as Emperor Kinmei.
Nunakura no Futotamasiki 571/04/15-585/09/14
[edit]The kiki embellish Nunakura no Futotamasiki as Emperor Bidatsu.
Osisaka no Hikwohito 585/09/14-???/??/??
[edit]Osisaka no Hikwohito is excluded by the kiki, which replaces him with three fictitious emperors.
Tamura ???/??/??-641/11/17
[edit]The kiki embellish Tamura as Emperor Jomei and falsify his mother's identity.
Kadzuraki 641/11/17-672/01/07
[edit]The kiki embellish Kadzuraki as Emperor Tenji.
Ohotomo 672/01/07-672/08/21
[edit]The kiki embellish Ohotomo as Emperor Kōbun. The replacement of Ohotomo with Tenmu in the ficticious accounts was withdrawn by Emperor Meiji. The usurpation is now framed as a succession by the adherents of the Paikchei Dynasty. From this point, substitutions may be insertions based on possible historical personages, rather than the purely mythological characters as are inserted before Agatanusi Tamura.
Yota 672/08/21-678
[edit]Yota and subsequent exclusions by the kiki may now may reflect actual losses of territorial control by the Kamusitagahi Agatanusis.
Siki 678-716/09/01
[edit]The kiki posthumously demoted Siki to a lesser prince.
Midzunusi 716/09/01-737/09/22
[edit]Midzunusi is a female agatanusi whose name, which means "water chief", might reflect a thessalocratic aspect of guerrilla tactics surrounding the loss and subsequent recapture of Nara.
Sirakabe 737/09/22-782/01/11
[edit]Sirakabe is posthumously embellished as Emperor Kōnin, the last agatanusi to be considered an emperor in Japanese literature.
Itsi Moro 782/01/11-802/04/14
[edit]Itsi Moro was initially the sole successor of Sirakabe, subsequently entering into a duumvirate in alliance with Aterui from 786.
Wohari 802/04/14-804
[edit]Wohari was a female agatanusi who returned the agatanusi administration to Fusa Province following the loss of both Nara and Isawa District, Iwate.
Itsisi 804-805/12/06
[edit]Agatanusi Siki's grandson Itsitsi contributed to the complilation of the Kunitsufumi.
Miwa 805/12/06-806/05/15
[edit]Miwa[2] is attested as 下総権守 (Simofusa Karimori), Governor of Shimōsa Province in 776 and recognized as superior in Yoshino, Nara 吉野大臣 (Yosinwo Ohomi) in 806.
Kadzwono 806/05/15-808/08/27
[edit]Agatanusi Wohari's grandson Kadzwono compiled the Kunitsufumi and fled to Tsutsumori in Ohotaki, Fusa, the last bastion of the Akatsu Dynasty, upon the final capture of Nara by Paikkchei.
Minuma 808/08/27-810/02
[edit]Minuma[3] is the wife of Miwa and mother of Princess Kiyoniha[4], the Itsuki no Miko.
Hiranwo 810/02-829/07/23
[edit]Kadzwono's younger brother Hiranwo was martyred on July 23, 829, marking the end of the Third Akatsu Dynasty and the beginning of unified Japan.

conclusion
[edit]Rather than being destroyed in its infancy by any mythological "Sujin" or "Yamato" dynasty, the Akatsu Dynasty and the Kamusitagahi Country which it founded endured over 800 years beyond an imagined foundation of Japan that many believe to have somehow escaped the notice of Han, Wei, Jin, Song, Qi, Liang and Sui chroniclers. The Sumyeramikoto / Six Dynasties Theory is named for the dynasties which preceded Japan, represented by a sole flag and endonym: 倭國 (Sitagahi Kuni), being complimentary rather than mutually exclusive. The subsequent dynasty uses different flags and a different name: 日本 (Japan), thereby constituting the first dynasty of a separate polity rather than a seventh tauto-national entity. Herein lies the replacement. The Akatsu Dynasty of Kamusitagahi Kuni was violently contested only since 663 and constantly held sway in Nara through 671, being definitively expelled from Nara only after 805 and finally defeated by remnants of the Paikchei Dynasty descended from Buyeo Chungji on July 23, 829. This resilience has implications which are manifest by heroic people who defiantly persist to this day.
