; also known as ''Ikumeiribikoisachi no Mikoto''; was the 11th emperor of Japan,〔Imperial Household Agency (''Kunaichō''): ( 垂仁天皇 (11) ); retrieved 2013-8-22.〕 according to the traditional order of succession.〔Titsingh, Isaac. (1834). ; Brown, Delmer M. (1979). ''Gukanshō,'' pp. 253-254; Varley, H. Paul. (1980). ''Jinnō Shōtōki,'' pp. 95-96.〕 No firm dates can be assigned to this emperor's life or reign, but he is conventionally considered to have reigned from 29 BC–AD 70.〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1959). ''The Imperial House of Japan,'' p. 32.〕 ==Legendary narrative== Suinin 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. (1896). ''Nihongi,'' pp. 109.〕 The name Suinin''-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.''〕 Legend says that about two thousand years ago, Emperor Suinin ordered his daughter, Princess Yamatohime-no-mikoto, to set out and find a suitable permanent location from which to hold ceremonies for Amaterasu Omikami, the Sun Goddess.〔 After twenty years of searching, she is said to have settled on the area of Ise, establishing the Ise Shrine.〔Brown, p. 253.〕 According to Asama Shrine tradition, the earliest veneration of Konohanasakuya-hime at the base of Mount Fuji was in the 8th month of the 3rd year of the reign of Emperor Suinin.〔Ponsonby-Fane, Richard. (1962. ''Studies in Shinto and Shrines,'' p.458.〕 ''Nihonshoki'' records the wrestling match in which ''Nomi no Sukune'' and ''Taima no Kehaya'' held during his era, as the origin of ''Sumai'' (Sumo wrestling). In the context of events like this, the Japanese have traditionally accepted this sovereign's historical existence; however, no extant contemporary records have been discovered which confirm a view that this historical figure actually reigned.〔Aston, William. (1998). ''Nihongi,'' Vol. 1, pp. 167-187.〕 Jien records that Tehiede Tuhōyō was the third son of Emperor Sujin, and that he ruled from the palace of ''Tamaki-no-miya'' at Makimuku in what will come to be known as Yamato province. Jien also explains that during the reign of Emperor Suinin, the first High Priestess (''Saiō'', also known as ''saigū'') was appointed for Ise Shrine in what would become known as Ise province.〔 Suinin 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 Suinin, 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 legend of Kaguya-hime seems to found its basis in Suinin's story with ''Kaguya-him-no-Mikoto'', one of his consorts, according to ''Kojiki''. The actual site of Suinin'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 Suinin's mausoleum. It is formally named ''Sugawara no Fushimi no higashi no misasagi''.〔Ponsonby-Fane, ''Studies in Shinto,'' p. 418.〕 Suinin's tomb can be visited in Nishi-machi, Amagatsuji, Nara City.〔(Suinin's ''misasagi'' -- image )〕〔(Suinin's ''misasagi'' -- map (mis-labelled as "Enperor Nonin s Tomb") )〕 This ''kofun''-type Imperial tomb is characterized by a keyhole-shaped island located within a wide, water-filled moat.〔(Suinin-type ''kofun'' -- see illustration #3, bottom of web page )〕〔(Suinin's ''misasagi'' -- aerial photo (also known as ''Hōraisan kofun'') )〕 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 Suinin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
