Emperor Kanmu's mother was a descendant of the King of Baekje.
The mother of Emperor Kanmu during the Heian period was a person named Takano Shingasa, who was an immigrant from Baekje. The relationship between Japan and Baekje is often unknown, but it can be speculated that it goes back a long way. In ``Gishiwajinden,'' it is written that Wa (Japan) was in contact with Inuya Korea, which means that Japanese people lived in what is now the Japanese archipelago and the southern tip of the Korean peninsula.
The Baekje region has had contact since ancient times.
Before that, it was a Japanese-style tumulus. Keyhole-shaped tombs have been discovered in the Baekje region of the Korean Peninsula. If we trace the spread of polished stone tools excavated from the Iwajuku Ruins in Japan, we can see evidence of their spread to the Korean Peninsula in chronological order. Baekje was destroyed in the Battle of Baekchonggang in ６６３ and retreated from the Korean Peninsula. At that time, many Baekje people fled to Japan.
Baekje King clan lived as a Japanese clan
The family was founded by Zenko, the son of King Uija, the last king of Baekje, and was given the surname of Baekje King as a Japanese clan. It is said that her descendant was the mother of Emperor Kanmu. My memory is that a woman from the imperial family married the King of Baekje when Baekje was on the Korean peninsula, but I tried looking for it but couldn't find it. The custom of taking a commoner as a wife dates back to the post-war period, and if until then you could not become the empress of the emperor without some sort of blood relation, then it means that you had a relative relationship before then.
Takano Shingasa, a descendant of the Baekje kings
There have been various debates about this theory, but it is not incorrect as it is mentioned on the birthday of His Majesty the current Retired Emperor that Emperor Kanmu's birth mother was a descendant of King Muryeong of Baekje. right. I actually heard these birthday messages, but I honestly remember being surprised at what His Majesty the Emeritus said.
His Majesty the Emperor also mentioned
Based on this, many people in Korea say that the Emperor is a descendant of Koreans, but this is only because the Emperor was a descendant of the King of Baekje during that generation, and the imperial family is inherited through the male line in the first place. , I can't trace my genealogy back to my mother. Moreover, since Baekje was destroyed on the Korean Peninsula, Japan was in a position to protect it. And since they chose to assimilate with the Japanese, they are not Koreans.

When Japan meets the king, the royal family protects the world, and Japan gathers together with the world.
Sunjong, the last emperor of the Korean Empire, lived in Changdeokgung Palace as a member of the royal family during the Japanese colonial period. When Changdeokgung Palace was destroyed in a fire, he lived in Nakseonjae, which was left over from the fire, but when asked to move to Deoksugung Palace, he reprimanded Lee Wanyo, saying, ``You can't move because it's Changdeokgung Palace, which was given to us by His Majesty the Emperor.'' did.
Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, lived in the Forbidden City during the Xinhai Revolution in exchange for his abdication. The Xinhai Revolution was a collaboration between Japan and Sun Yat-sen. At the time of the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan, Puyi converted the treasures in the Forbidden City into gold and entrusted a large amount of donations to Kenkichi Yoshizawa. After Yuan Shikai's death, Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City, placed under Japanese protection, and became Emperor of Manchukuo. The Qing Dynasty was an enemy country of Japan that fought in the Sino-Japanese War.
There are a small number of countries that cry out that Japan has invaded or invaded without drawing much attention to this kind of Japanese thinking. At least the former monarchs of these countries were treated respectfully and protected by Japan. China itself expelled the Qing dynasty's Ai Xinjuo Luo clan.
Izumo Taisha is a shrine that is famous both in Japan and among overseas tourists. Many tourists visit from Japan and abroad. The reason is magnificent, and the scenery is truly art itself. In the first place, Izumo Taisha Shrine was built for the god Okuninushi, who surrendered the country. This is a story from Japanese mythology.
At first in Japan, Izanagi's son Susanoo no Mikoto was banished from the heavenly world (Takamagahara) and landed on earth (Ashihara no Chugoku), where he expanded his country. Okuninushi is his descendant. In the first place, it was Amaterasu Omikami who was ordered by Izanagi to rule the earth, but in order for Amaterasu Omikami's grandson to come down to earth to create a country, he sent Takemikaraijin to earth in advance and ruled the country. Concession negotiations will take place.
Takeminakata, the second child of Ōkuninushikami, resisted and was cornered by the battle with Takemikaraijin and would not leave the province of Shinano, so he asked to be allowed to live here, and was enshrined in the province of Suwa. This is Suwa Shrine in Nagano Prefecture. As a result, Okuninushi committed suicide, saying that if he would build a palace in the country of Izumo, he would serve him from a faraway world. It is said that Izumo Taisha was built there. In response to this broken myth, he built Izumo Taisha, which still stands magnificently in modern times. There is no doubt that this is Japanese culture.
Continent - derived "surnames" and historical background in Japan - History that disappears when two eras are confused.
There are people who look only at his name and reason that he is of Peninsular descent. Typically, clans with names such as Kaneko are said to be of peninsula descent, but this is correct and not correct.
Takano Shingasa, a descendant of the Baekje royal family, was the mother of Emperor Kanmu during the era when many Baekje people fled to Japan after losing the Battle of Hakusonko. The Taira clan descended from Emperor Kanmu and called themselves Taira, and the Kaneko clan is said to descend from the Kanmu Taira clan. If that is the case, then if Mr. Kaneko is from the peninsula, then is the current Emperor also a peninsula citizen?
In other words, it is necessary to know that in order to construct such ridiculous logic, the people of the peninsula have taken up this story many times and made it known to the Japanese people. They enjoy using exclusionary and anti-Korean sentiments to attack everyone on the peninsula. They consider people who have come to Japan to be nothing more than traitors.
This means that Japan accepted a large number of refugees in the latter half of the 7th century. These people have been assimilated into Japan for over a thousand years and have established families, so they do not have Peninsular surnames but Japanese surnames. If we go back to the Jomon period, many immigrants had already immigrated to Japan, and some of the words became ingrained in the Japanese language.
This is a completely different issue, as the Kim surname, which means "zainichi" and was given as a Korean name by people on the peninsula who came to Japan to work during the Japanese colonial period, is a completely different issue, and it is a story from at least 1910 after the annexation. . This is Kim as a Korean surname. Zainichi does not naturalize and his nationality is Peninsular.
Koreans say they were robbed of their names during the Japanese occupation, but they had to apply. In fact, when people went to work in Manchuria, the people of the peninsula, who were vassals of the Qing Dynasty, wanted Japanese names because they would be bullied or because it would be easier to do business. In this case, they wanted a Japanese surname rather than a Korean surname, so in many cases they had a common surname that was no different from a Japanese surname.
His Majesty the Emperor, who continued researching fish, discovered 10 new species - two were announced at academic conferences after his abdication.
Most members of the imperial family enroll at Gakushuin University, and their academic majors are not related to politics, economics, or military affairs. The reason is said to be that the Emperor, as a symbol of Japan, is not involved in these activities. Emperor Showa studied biology, and when his attendants said that the grass they cut around the Imperial Palace and Fukiage Palace was ``cutting weeds,'' he said, ``There is no such thing as weeds.''
``Every plant has a name, and each grows in its own favorite place. We shouldn't take a one-sided approach and label it as a weed. Be careful,'' he said. .
In 1964, His Majesty the Emperor Emeritus, then Crown Prince, visited Thailand with Her Imperial Highness Princess Michiko. When he met with King Bhumibol Adulyadej and learned about Thailand's current situation of food shortages, he proposed to King Adulyadej that they try growing tilapia as a protein source. Upon returning to Japan, he donated 50 tilapia raised at the Akasaka imperial estate to Thailand.
When former King Bhumibol Adulyadej bred them in his palace pond, the number of young fish increased to 10,000 in a blink of an eye due to their ease of raising and strong reproductive ability. They were sent to various places through the Fisheries Experiment Station, and became a source of food for the Thai people. Even today, it is a common fish in Thailand under the name Pranin. Pura is an abbreviation for Emperor, and Nin is the kanji for Akihito read aloud.
His Majesty the Emeritus also majored in biology and mainly conducted research on fish. In June 2021, after the Emperor's abdication, two new species of goby were discovered, and His Majesty the Emperor himself named them ``Awayukiftus goby'' and ``Sebosyftus goby'' and announced them at an academic conference. A total of 10 new species of fish have been discovered and announced to the world by His Majesty the Emperor.
The Rose of Versailles is a Japanese work that was a big hit in Western Europe - Lady Oscar in France.
Beautiful Oscar in male clothing
A fictional story that doesn't exist
The Rose of Versailles became very popular in Europe
The royal family was the axis of opposition to democracy
Japanese culture focuses on the enemy
Former President Moon Jae-in says South Korea started the French Revolution
The Rose of Versailles is a manga that was serialized from 1972 to 1973. It was adapted into a stage play by the Takarazuka Revue Company and became a big hit, attracting attention and being made into an anime. The story takes place on the eve of the French Revolution. The main character, Oscar, is a woman, and as a beautiful woman dressed as a man, she is beautiful and strong, and is as good as any man. She later serves as the commander of Marie Antoinette's bodyguard when she is executed.
This is a work that frankly depicts his relationship with Andre, a man who is in love with Oscar, and his personal and romantic relationship with Marie Antoinette, who is protected by Oscar. What is surprising is that the main characters Oscar and Andre in the worldview of this magnificent work do not actually exist.
As you know, Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette were publicly executed by guillotine during the French Revolution. In other words, this work depicts the French royal family, who were the enemy of the people at the time. The animated work has been broadcast in Europe and is extremely popular. Of course, it was also very popular in France.
This work was created by Japan, an island nation in the East that has little cultural or historical contact with the West. On the other hand, if a Westerner created a work depicting the Edo period, would it be appealing to Japanese people?
The French Revolution was a major event that transformed France into democracy, and had the energy to change world history. In that sense, the French royal family at the time could be said to be war criminals in World War II and Hitler in Germany.
Steven Spielberg's ``Schindler's List'' is a work that depicts the human condition from the perspective of Hitler and the Nazis. In other words, The Rose of Versailles can be said to be a magnificent piece of work that shines a spotlight on what is considered evil in history.
Why don't the Korean people, who have the highest human rights consciousness in the world, condemn works such as Schindler's List and The Rose of Versailles? The Korean people who are familiar with the Nazis and Jews should be educating the people of the world. Former President Moon Jae-in told former President Macron that ``Korea started the French Revolution'' regarding the impeachment of Park Geun-hye.
The founding of Japan as seen from legends - The nation was unified by becoming subjects of the imperial line, rather than by the concept of national borders or ethnicity.
In mythology, the country of Japan is said to have originated from Awaji Island, where Izanagi and Izanami created islands from the drops that fell from the tip of their spears. The place where Ninigi no Mikoto's descendant descended is said to be Mt. Takachiho, which straddles Kagoshima and Miyazaki, and the legend of the founding of Japan first begins in western Japan.
During the pacification of Ashihara China, Ameno Kagase, who resisted the imperial lineage to the end, is said to have been cornered by Futsunushi and Takemikazuchi to the edge of what is now the Boso Peninsula, and Takemikazuchi was in Ibaraki Prefecture. There is Kashima Shrine, which is dedicated to the god of thunder, and Takemi Raijin is also known as the god of sumo. It is said that even the powerful Tsunetsu Nushikami and Takemika Raijin were unable to subdue Amatsu Onsei, and in the end it was subdued by the god of textiles named Takehazuchi. A male god is enshrined here.
For this reason, Chiba and Ibaraki prefectures are dotted with many Hoshigami shrines that enshrine Amatsu Onsei, who was a force of resistance to the imperial lineage. It is ironic that Kazuo Shii is a resistance force against the current imperial lineage, and that Shii Kazuo is from Yotsukaido City in Chiba Prefecture, that left-wingers have immigrated from all over the country during the Narita Struggle, and that powerful people of the Ritmin movement are from Chiba Prefecture.
Based on this premise, the current Tohoku region and Hokkaido are not included and are called Ezochi. Afterwards, Ezo was pacified and incorporated into Japan. What is important here is the criterion of whether or not a person becomes a vassal of the imperial line or not, and the current concept of borders and ethnic groups under international law does not exist in the first place.
It is said that many ethnic groups have come and lived in Japan since the Jomon period, and in Gishi Wajinden it is written that Wakoku was in contact with Inuya Korea, and in the Book of Later Han, it is said that Wakoku was in contact with the country of the peninsula by land. There are possible descriptions. It is said that Wakoku extended to part of the peninsula. There is also a theory that Wakoku was actually involved in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms of Korea, and although they deepened their friendship with Baekje and participated in the Battle of Hakusonko, they were defeated, and Japan accepted the Baekje people as refugees.
Historically, the prerequisite for being Japanese was whether or not a person would become a subject of the imperial line. Based on this premise, the first article of the Japanese Constitution states that the Emperor has been the symbol of Japan from the time the country was born to the present day. As a result, Japan is the country with the longest history in the world.
As a side note, Governor Denny Tamaki of Okinawa has no interest in what Japan is, he seems to have no interest in Japanese history, and he seems to have no intention of obeying the imperial line or the Japanese constitution.
