was the first Emperor of Japan, according to legend. His accession is traditionally dated as 660 BCE.〔Kelly, Charles F. ( "Kofun Culture," ) ( Japanese Archaeology. ) April 27, 2009.〕〔Kitagawa, Joseph. (1987). ; excerpt, "... emphasis on the undisrupted chronological continuity from myths to legends and from legends to history, it is difficult to determine where one ends and the next begins. At any rate, the first ten legendary emperors are clearly not reliable historical records." Boleslaw Szczesniak,'The Sumu-Sanu Myth. Notes and Remarks on the Jimmu Tenno Myth,' in Monumenta Nipponica, Vol. 10, No. 1/2 (1954), pp. 107-126.〕 According to Japanese mythology, he is a descendant of the sun goddess Amaterasu, through her grandson Ninigi, as well as a descendant of the storm god Susanoo. He launched a military expedition from Hyuga near the Inland Sea, captured Yamato, and established this as his center of power. In modern Japan, Jimmu's accession is marked as National Foundation Day on February 11. ==Name and title== Jimmu is recorded as Japan's first ruler in two early chronicles, Kojiki (712) and ''Nihon Shoki'' (721).〔"Jimmu", ''Japan: An Illustrated Encyclopedia'' (1993), Kodansha, ISBN 978-4069310980.〕 ''Nihon Shoki'' gives the dates of his reign as 660 - 585 BC.〔 In the reign of Emperor Kanmu (737–806),〔Aston, William. (1896). ''Nihongi,'' pp. 109–137.〕 Ōmi no Mifune designated rulers before Ōjin as , a Japanese pendant to the Chinese imperial title ''Tiān-dì'' (天帝). Prior to this time, these rulers had been known as ''sumera no mikoto/ōkimi''. This practice had begun under Empress Suiko, and took root after the Taika Reforms with the ascendancy of the Nakatomi clan.〔Jacques H. Kamstra (''Encounter Or Syncretism: The Initial Growth of Japanese Buddhism,'' ) Brill 1967 pp.65-67.〕 Jimmu's name, like those of several other legendary emperors, can also be found among the ruler names of the Korean kingdom of Silla, most likely sharing a common Chinese source name.〔Jacques H. Kamstra, (''Encounter Or Syncretism: The Initial Growth of Japanese Buddhism,'' ) Brill 1967 p.67.〕 According to the legendary account in the Kojiki, Emperor Jimmu was born on February 13, 711 BCE (the first day of the first month of the Chinese calendar), and died, again according to legend, on March 11, 585 BCE (both dates according to the lunisolar (traditional Japanese calendar )). Both the Kojiki and the Nihon Shoki give Jimmu's name as .〔神倭伊波礼琵古命, OJ pronunciation: ''Kamu-Yamatö-ipare-biko'' (''nö-mikötö'') Donald Philippi, tr.''Kojiki'', University of Tokyo Press, 1969 p.488〕 ''Iware'' indicates a toponym whose precise purport is unclear. The Imperial House of Japan traditionally based its claim to the throne on its putative descent from the sun-goddess Amaterasu via Jimmu's great grandfather Ninigi.〔Bob Tadashi Wakabayashi, (Loyalism Reconstrued: Yamagata Daini's Ryūshi Shinron of 1759,'' ) University of Hawai'i Press, 1995 pp.106-7.〕 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 Jimmu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
