236A Study on Territories and Boundaries of Ancient Japanese GovernmentThe Yamato Administration (ヤマト政権) was the coalition of the Great King (大王, Okimi) and powerful clans. Each territory of the clans was ruled by each family; the Great King was not able to dominate the people and the land directly. The domination of the territory by the Yamato Administration was not exclusive. Reflecting upon this situation, the border of the Yamato Administration (倭国; Wa-koku) was ambiguous. Some of the clans that joined the coalition had relations with a government in the Korean peninsula.After The Jinshin War (壬申の乱) between Oama-no-miko (大海人皇子) and the Omi Imperial court (近江朝廷) headed by Otomo-no-miko (大友皇子), the winner, Oama-no-miko, was enthroned as Emperor Temmu (天武天皇). Extending the power of the Great King under his rule, “the Great King” would be called “the Emperor” (天皇) and “Wa-koku” would be called “Nihon” (日本). The Japanese governance system changed from a coalition of clans into a centralized state. At this time, boundaries between Japan and other countries would be defined.Boundary areas, however, were ruled by the government in a different way from the mainland. In the northeast of Japanese Islands, Mutsu (陸奥), Dewa (出羽) and Echigo (越後) were the counties confronting Emishi (蝦夷). In the south, Hyuga (日向), Osumi (大隅), Satsuma (薩摩) and Tane (多褹) were the ones dealing with Hayato (隼人) and the southern islands (南島). In the west, Iki (壱岐), Tsushima (対馬), Chika (値嘉) and Oki (隠岐) stood face to face with Silla (新羅). This paper clarifies the transition of special control by the central government in these regions.Ryosuke KAKINUMA
