Koko Made Wakatta! Kodai Gozoku No Roots to Matsuei Tachi (Shinjimbutsu Bunko)

[Machine Translation] The Soga, Monobe, Katsuragi, Izumo, and Hata clans.... The existence of these ancient powerful clans, many of which are still unknown, continues to fascinate not only fans of ancient history but also many other people. New discoveries have been made at the Akitsu Ruins in Nara, which are believed to be the base of the powerful Katsuragi clan, and at the Forbidden Honmachi Ruins in Osaka, which are the remains of the residence of the King Baekje clan, which had its roots on the Korean peninsula. This book provides an in-depth understanding of the 15 clans, from their origins, to their activities, to their later history, by classifying them into the "Central", "Local", and "Watai" groups. In addition to an easy-to-understand introductory Q&A section, the book also explores the forefront of research on the key figures of ancient Japan: Emperor Tsugitai, Prince Shotoku, and Fujiwara no Fuhito, who are shrouded in mystery. We now know so much more about the origin of the birth of the ancient nation and the true identity of the ancient powerful clans.
