; also known as ''Ooyamatonekohikofutoni no Mikoto''; was the seventh emperor of Japan,〔Imperial Household Agency (''Kunaichō''): ( 孝霊天皇 (7) ); retrieved 2013-8-22.〕 according to the traditional order of succession.〔Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). ; Brown, Delmer M. (1979). ''Gukanshō,'' p. 252; Varley, H. Paul. (1980). ''Jinnō Shōtōki,'' pp. 90-92;〕 No firm dates can be assigned to this emperor's life or reign, but he is conventionally considered to have reigned from 290 BC–215 BC,〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1959). ''The Imperial House of Japan,'' p. 30.〕 but he may have lived in the early 1st century.〔Nussbaum, Louis-Frédéric. (2005). "''Kōrei Tennō''" in .〕 ==Legendary narrative== Modern scholars have come to question the existence of at least the first nine emperors; Kōrei's descendant, Emperor Sujin is the first that many agree might have actually existed.〔Yoshida, Reiji. ("Life in the Cloudy Imperial Fishbowl," ) ''Japan Times.'' March 27, 2007; retrieved 2013-8-22.〕 The name Kōrei''-tennō'' was assigned to him posthumously by later generations.〔Brinkley, Frank. (1916). ; 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.''〕 Kōrei is regarded by historians as a "legendary emperor" 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. (1897). ''Nihongi,'' pp. 111.〕 In the ''Kojiki'' and ''Nihonshoki'' only his name and genealogy were recorded. He is believed to be son of Emperor Kōan; and his mother is believed to have been Oshihime, who was the daughter of Ametarashihiko-Kunio-shihito-no-mikoto.〔Varley, p. 90.〕 The Japanese have traditionally accepted this sovereign's historical existence, and an Imperial ''misasagi'' or tomb for Kōrei is currently maintained; however, no extant contemporary records have been discovered that confirm a view that this historical figure actually reigned. He was the sixth of eight emperors without specific legends associated with them, also known as the .〔Aston, pp. 146-147.〕 The Kojiki notes that it was during Kōrei's reign that Kibi was conquered.〔Chamberlain, Basil. (1919). (''The Kojiki,'' p. 196. )〕 Jien records that Kōrei was the eldest son of Emperor Kōan, and that he ruled from the palace of ''Ihoto-no-miya'' at Kuroda in what would come to be known as Yamato province.〔Brown, p. 252; p. Varley, p. 90.〕 Kōrei is a posthumous name. It is undisputed that this identification is Chinese in form and Buddhist in implication, which suggests that the name must have been regularized centuries after the lifetime ascribed to Kōrei, possibly during the time in which legends about the origins of the Yamato dynasty were compiled as the chronicles known today as the ''Kojiki''.〔 The actual site of Kōrei's grave is not known.〔 This emperor is traditionally venerated at a memorial Shinto shrine (''misasagi'') in Nara. The Imperial Household Agency designates this location as Kōrei's mausoleum. It is formally named ''Kataoka no Umasaka no misasagi''.〔Ponsonby-Fane, p. 418.〕 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 Kōrei」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
