was the 12th emperor of Japan, according to the traditional order of succession.〔Imperial Household Agency (''Kunaichō''): ( 景行天皇 (12) ); retrieved 2013-8-23.〕〔Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). ; Brown, Delmer M. (1979). ''Gukanshō'', p. 254; Varley, H. Paul. (1980). ''Jinnō Shōtōki,'' pp. 96-99.〕 His reign is conventionally dated as 71–130.〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1959). ''The Imperial House of Japan,'' p. 33.〕 He is also known as ''Ootarashihikooshirowake no Sumeramikoto''. ==Legendary narrative== Keikō is regarded by historians as a "legendary emperor" who might be real and there is a paucity of information about him. There is insufficient material available for further verification and study.〔Kelly, Charles F. ( "Kofun Culture," ) ( Japanese Archaeology. ) April 27, 2009.〕 The reign of Emperor Kimmei (509?–571 AD), the 29th emperor,〔Titsingh, (pp. 34–36 ); Brown, ( pp. 261–262; Varley, pp. 123–124 ).〕 is the first for which contemporary historiography is able to assign verifiable dates;〔Hoye, Timothy. (1999). ''Japanese Politics: Fixed and Floating Worlds,'' p. 78; excerpt, "According to legend, the first Japanese emperor was Jimmu. Along with the next 13 emperors, Jimmu is not considered an actual, historical figure. Historically verifiable Emperors of Japan date from the early sixth century with Kimmei.〕 however, the conventionally accepted names and dates of the early emperors were not to be confirmed as "traditional" until the reign of Emperor Kammu (737–806), the 50th sovereign of the Yamato dynasty.〔Aston, William George. (1896). ''Nihongi,'' pp. 109.〕 The name Keikō''-tennō'' was assigned to him posthumously by later generations.〔Brinkley, Frank. (1915). ; excerpt, "Posthumous names for the earthly ''Mikados'' were invented in the reign of Emperor Kammu (782-805), i.e., after the date of the compilation of the ''Records'' and the ''Chronicles.''〕 His legend was recorded in ''Kojiki'' and ''Nihonshoki'', but the accounts of him are different in these two sources. In ''Kojiki'' he sent his son Yamato Takeru to Kyūshū to conquer local tribes. In ''Nihonshoki'' Keikō himself went there and won battles against local tribes. According to both sources, he sent Yamatotakeru to Izumo province and eastern provinces to conquer the area and spread his territory.〔Aston, William. (1998). ''Nihongi,'' Vol. 1, pp. 188-214.〕 According to traditional sources, Yamato Takeru died in the 43rd year of Emperor Keiko's reign (景行天皇43年).〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1953) ''Studies in Shinto and Shrines,'' p. 433.〕 The possessions of the dead prince were gathered together along with the sword Kusanagi; and his widow venerated his memory in a shrine at her home. Sometime later, these relics and the sacred sword were moved to the current location of the Atsuta Shrine.〔Ponsonby-Fane, ''Studies in Shinto,'' p. 434.〕 ''Nihonshoki'' explains that this move occurred in the 51st year of Keiko's reign, but shrine tradition also dates this event in the 1st year of Emperor Chūai's reign.〔Ponsonby-Fane, ''Studies in Shinto,'' p. 435.〕 The actual site of Keikō's grave is not known.〔 This emperor is traditionally venerated at a memorial Shinto shrine (''misasagi'') at Nara. The Imperial Household Agency designates this location as Keikō's mausoleum. It is formally named ''Yamanobe no michi no e no misasagi''.〔Ponsonby-Fane, ''Studies in Shinto,'' p. 419.〕 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「Emperor Keikō」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
