The , also read as Ashihase and Shukushin, were a people of ancient Japan, believed to have lived along the northern portion of the coast of the Sea of Japan. The term Sushen, rendered 肅愼, is found in Chinese records, but is annotated as Mishihase or Ashihase in Japanese language documents, which should have developed into *''Mishiwase'' or *''Ashiwase'' in Modern Japanese if the word had survived in colloquial speech. According to the ''Nihon Shoki'', the Mishihase first arrived at Sado Island during the reign of Emperor Kimmei. In 660, Japanese General Abe no Hirafu defeated the Mishihase in ''"Watarishima"'' at the request of the native inhabitants. During the Edo period, Arai Hakuseki proposed that Watarishima was Ezo, which was later renamed Hokkaidō. The battle place was recorded as the mouth of a large river, which is proposed to be Ishikari River. Some historians consider that the Mishihase were identical to the Sushen in Chinese records, but others think that the Japanese people named the indigenous people in the northeast based on their knowledge of Chinese records, just as the Chinese did during the Three Kingdoms Period. Kisao Ishizuki of the Sapporo University suggested that the Mishihase was the Gilyak belonging to the Okhotsk culture in the ''Hokkaido Shimbun'' in 1979. They are believed to have spoken a Tungusic language. ==References== 〔 미시하세 ja:粛慎 zh:粛慎 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mishihase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
