(2) Book of Song Dynasty
The Book of Song is an historical text of the Liu Song Dynasty of the
Southern Dynasties of China. It covers history from 420 to 479,
and is one of the Twenty-Four Histories, a traditional collection of historical records.
It was authored by Shen Yue from the Liang Dynasty (502-557) and
contained 100 volumes at the time that it was written.
One of the volumes contains information about Wa (Japan), and you can read
the original text of this in this website (URLﾘﾝｸ(www2.plala.or.jp)).
This does not have English translation, but I believe some of the staff members
in your museum must be able to read old Chinese texts.
According to this Chinese historical record, the letter to the Chinese emperor
at that time sent by a Japanese emperor, Emperor Yurryaku, states that
the Japanese control covered the southern part of Korean Peninsula.
(3) Book of Qi Dynasty
The Book of Qi or Book of Southern Qi is a history of the Chinese dynasty,
Southern Qi covering the period from 479 to 502, and is one of the Twenty-Four
Histories of Chinese history. It was written by Xiao Zixian during the succeeding
Liang Dynasty.
One of the volumes relates evidence about the Japanese emperor, Emperor Yuryaku.
The title of this Japanese emperor in this Chinese history record is the Subjugating
General of six areas in Southern Korea. You can read the original Chine text in this
website (URLﾘﾝｸ(www.ceres.dti.ne.jp)).
In addition to the above mentioned evidence, some other information is
discussed out by Chinese and Japanese historians who maintain that
the southern part of Korea was subjugated by Japan during some time
during the 4th and 5th centuries.
It is my understanding that you are showing “Stories of the Shinto deity
Hachiman and shrines dedicated to him” as an art object, not a historical material.
It seems to me that those Korean people who are asking you to remove this artwork
because the historical view depicted in this scroll does not correspond to
their inaccurate history are unaware of the true historical record.
I hope you will not be unduly influenced by their unreasonable and historically inaccurate requests.
Sincerely,
