The area of "太宰府天満宮" (DAZAIFU TENMANGU) and "九州国立博物館" (Kyushu National Museum) in the YAYOI period of Japan, 2nd and 3rd century, was introduced. It is 500 m distance from the previous series. Now, "DAZAIFU TENMANGU" started by "菅原道真公" (Duke Sugawara Michizane) from the 10th century. But its previous period is unknown. In this book, we will focus in the 2nd and 3rd century of "DAZAIFU TENMANGU", the YAYOI period of Japan. And the unknown history will be cleared from the excavation reports.

In this YAMATAI-koku HIMIKO SEQ4, we look at "千塔山遺跡" (SENTOYAMA Iseki), which appeared only at the later-stage of the Late-YAYOI period. It is at the later life of the Queen HIMIKO. Imaging 'Why suddenly appeared', we refer from the printed and purchased book. Its just south "柚比遺跡群" (YUBI Iseki-gun) is the defeated side of WA-koku TAIRAN, that is, the pro-Queen side. Like "隈・西小田地区遺跡群" (KUMA-NISHIODA-chiku Iseki-gun), the photos of the headless skeletons and severe war-wounded skeletons appear again. This "柚比遺跡群" (YUBI Iseki-gun) is slightly 10 km east from "吉野ヶ里遺跡" (YOSHINOGARI Iseki), which is the capital of the Queen HIMIKO.

This book is binding with the following five books of "YAMATAI-koku HIMIKO" SERIES. ◇SERIES 1 : WAkoku-TAIRAN and Queen enthrone ◇SERIES 2 : The Deleted Tribute Records to Later-HAN Dynasty ◇SERIES 3 : "針習" and "貝元" were not poisoned ◇SERIES 4 : Dazaifu Tenmangu in the 2nd and 3rd Century ◇SERIES 5 : Ever Burning Zoroaster's Fire In this book, we will see the Chikushino-city and Dazaifu-city of FUKUOKA-prefecture in Japan at AD150-250, that is, WA-koku-Tairan and Queen HIMIKO age. This area exists between the HOMAN River (Japan) and the MIKASA River. This area was the main battle field of WA-koku-Tairan. And Queen HIMIKO was enthroned. We will look at the important area just before Queen HIMIKO. PS. This English Edition is the translation from the Japanese Edition, "邪馬壹國 卑彌呼, 倭國大亂そして女王時代". The translation had been conducted by using Appendix "Words". If this English Edition are inexplicable, please see the Japanese Edition or the original books in "References".

In Series 1 "YAMATAI-koku HIMIKO (SEQ1)", we looked at the distributions of the Remains at "Medium-stream riverside of the HOMAN river, Japan" of Queen HIMIKO age. We talked that there are "Wold" village group and " Plateau" village group. Furthermore we talked that "IRAIJYAKU Remains" the representative of "Plateau" village group and an Enemy Watchtower at WA-koku TAIRAN age. We will look at the details of "IRAIJYAKU". There are seven hundreds houses in 70 years. "IRAIJYAKU" was the big village which had regularly one hundred houses, if the housese were rebuilt every ten years. Therefore the reading is hard work. But we will pick up only the major and characteristic relics. Seven "Forging Iron Wing-Flanged Axe" were excavated in "IRAIJYAKU". That Iron Axe was only one each local village of the FUKUOKA Plain of Japan. We will look at "IRAIJYAKU" as these characteristic relics as well as the Enemy Watchtower which we saw in "続1".

In this, the most comprehensive treatment in English to date, a senior scholar of early Japan turns to three sources - historical, archaeological and mythological - to provide a multifaceted study of ancient Japanese society. Analyzing a tremendous amount of recent archaeological material and synthesizing it with a thorough examination of the textual sources, Professor Kidder locates Yamatai in the Yamato heartland, in the southeastern part of the Nara basin. He describes the formation in the Yayoi period of pan-regional alliances that created the reserves of manpower required to build massive mounded tombs. It is this decisive period, at the end of the Yayoi and the beginning of the Kofun, that he identifies as Himiko's era. He maintains, moreover, that Himiko played a part in the emergence of Yamato as an identifiable political entity. In exploring the cultural and political conditions of this period and identifying the location of Yamatai as Himiko's area of activity, Kidder considers the role of magic in early Japanese society to better understand why an individual with her qualifications reached such a prominent position. He enhances Himiko's story with insights drawn from mythology, turning to a body of commentary for explanations buried deep in mythological stories and the earliest descriptions. Himiko and Japan's Elusive Chiefdom of Yamatai is required reading for Japan historians as well as scholars with an interest in literature and art history during this formative stage in Japan's past.

HIMIKO was co-commended and entrusted as a queen at AD183 in "倭" of Japan. Immediately, she paid a tribute to the Later HAN Dynasty according to the previous "漢委奴國王印" gold seal. But in the Later HAN, Yellow Turban Rebellion happened at AD184 February. This Rebellion was big. The suppressing the rebellion was in the winter. On the other hand, a Iron Sword, which was excavated in Todaijiyama Tumulus of NARA-prefecture in Japan, was inscribed "中平" Chinese characters. "中平" (Zhong Ping) is the era name at "靈帝" (Emperor Ling) of the Later HAN Dynasty of China. And the gold purity of Gold-Inlay Inscription is high extremely. Therefore this Iron Sword was made in the Later HAN. But there was no records of this Iron Sword in the official text of the Later HAN Dynasty, "东观汉记". But "东观汉记" was burnt out and is no exist both the original and copy books completely now. Therefore we focus on "東觀漢記" editors. because they have written the records in their own handwriting.

This "YAMATAI-koku HIMIKO SEQ 3" (WA-koku TAIRAN Final Battle "隈・西小田地区遺跡群") is the Queen HIMIKO lineage. This site was previously also talked in "Series 1 : WA-koku TAIRAN and Queen enthrone" of "YAMATAI-koku HIMIKO" book. Many head-hunted skeletons and severe war-wounded skeletons were excavated there. Here, we will look at the situation during WA-koku TAIRAN period, looking at the excavated pottery, houses, and grave goods. In this site, the skeleton weared 41 shell-rings was also excavated. Therefore it is believed that this site was the castle of the king, which was the eastern base of YAMATAI-koku in the SAGA Plain, during the Civil War of WA period. And therefore, this site received a barrage of fire. Moreover the place of "Exposed Head" will be also talked. In this book, texts and figures were refered from the purchased printed original book.
