YAMATAI-koku HIMIKO 1 (3): WAkoku-TAIRAN and Queen enthrone
8.1. Scenario 1 (from ①)
In Scenario 1, “柚ノ木” (YUNOKI) is “Starting-Point” ①.
Only West Bank of Old Riverbed was in Schistosoma Pollution. On the other hand, in East Bank, there was the of “永岡岸元” (NAGAOKA KISHIMOTO) village at the Late-YAYOI period. Therefore East Bank had not been polluted by schistosoma. At the earliest stage of the pollution (TYPE-Ⅱa period), the Schistosoma Pollution flowed down along West Bank and spread to ② “Playing in the river”. The children of “永岡” (NAGAOKA) played in the river. All of the children became the schistosomiasis. In TYPE-Ⅱa period, the large outbreak of the KAMEKAN coffin only for children occurred.
In next TYPE-Ⅱb and Ⅱc period, Schistosoma Pollution spread to ③ “Paddy Rice Field”, where the adult persons were working the agricultural jobs. And WA-koku-TAIRAN started.
Moreover in the downstream, Schistosoma Pollution spread to Both Bank of HOMAN River(JP). Conversely in the upper stream, we can consider to be that the opposite bank of “永岡岸元” (NAGAOKA KISHIMOTO) , that is, West Bank of Old Riverbed, is “Starting-Point” ①. Because “永岡岸元”, which existed in East Bank of Old Riverbed, has not been polluted by schistosoma and continued. Therefore “Starting-Point” is ①. This is West Bank Story.
8.2. Scenario 2 (from ②)
In Scenario 2, “永岡” (NAGAOKA) is “Starting-Point” ②
“Mouse” of ② swam up to north and caused Extinction of “柚ノ木” (YUNOKI). It is well known that the Mouse swims and spreads schistosoma. It seems to be able to be explained that “Mouse” of ② “永岡”, who was good swimmer, swam up to north and spread schistosoma to ① “柚ノ木”.
But “永岡岸元” (NAGAOKA KISHIMOTO) and “御笠地区G” (MIKASA-chiku G point), which located in the east bank of Old Riverbed (blue dotted line), have also continued at the Late-YAYOI period. “Mouse” of ② could not arrive at “永岡岸元” and “御笠地区G” by swimming. “Mouse” of ② could swim up West Bank and could not swim up East Bank. Scenario 2 has “Inconsistency of Mouse in East Bank ?”.
8.3. YUNOKI & DOJOYAMA is “立岩(古)”
In the upper stage of next figure, the photos are Jar-Coffins of “道場山1区” (DOJOYAMA 1-ku) in hot spring town. “道場山” is the same group of “奴国” as “柚ノ木”.
If it’s TYPE-Ⅲb･Ⅲc･Ⅳa as report
In report, the periods of “道場山1区” in hot spring town are noted at the later stage and end of the Middle-YAYOI and the earliest stage of the Late-YAYOI period. Moreover “道場山1区” is also noted TYPE-Ⅲb･Ⅲc･Ⅳa. And “道場山2区” is noted TYPE-I in the same report. If these photos of “道場山1区” are TYPE-Ⅲb･Ⅲc･Ⅳa in accordance with report, the whole of “道場山” in hot spring town lacks TYPE-Ⅱ.
Here in time sequence, we arrange Jar-Coffin TYPE of “道場山” whole in hot spring town as follows. TYPE-I is “道場山2区”. TYPE-Ⅱ lacks. TYPE-Ⅲb･Ⅲc･Ⅳa is “道場山1区”. In TYPE-Ⅱ period, Jar-Coffin burial system was stopped in “道場山” whole in hot spring town. And in TYPE-Ⅲ, Jar-Coffin burial system re-started. It’s a contradictory story.
TYPE-Ⅱ parallel to “立岩式(古)”
Let’s make the photos of below “道場山1区” as “立岩式(古)” (TYPE-Tateiwa Old version). The period is parallel to TYPE-Ⅱ. It is the old version of “立岩式” (TYPE-Tateiwa), which was strongly affected by the baggy body coffins of Gimhae of the Korean Peninsula. And we consider it the local color of “奴国”.
Thereby, “道場山” has continuous burial system from TYPE-I of “道場山2区” to TYPE-Ⅱ of “道場山1区”. “道場山1区” is parallel to “立岩式(古)”. There is no TYPE-Ⅲ in “道場山”.
In the lower stage of above figure, the photos are Jar-Coffins of ① “柚ノ木” (YUNOKI). These are very similar to the Jar-Coffins of the upper stage, which is “道場山1区” (DOJOYAMA 1-ku) in hot spring town. Rather than saying that, these are the Jar-Coffins at same period and the same TYPE-Tateiwa Old of “奴国”.
There is no TYPE-Ⅲ of Jar-Coffin in “道場山” in hot spring town. It was annihilated at TYPE-Ⅱ period parallel to TYPE-Tateiwa Old with the cause of schistosoma liver disease. “柚ノ木” is same Jar-Coffin TYPE with “道場山1区”. And there is also no next TYPE-Ⅲ Jar-Coffin. Therefore “柚ノ木” was also annihilated at TYPE-Ⅱ period, which is parallel to TYPE-Tateiwa Old.
8.4. TATEIWA(old) & Ⅱa-Ⅱc is same age
[REF.後漢書,東夷傳倭]
＜Original＞”桓、靈閒,倭國大亂,更相攻伐,歴年無主。有一女子,名曰卑彌呼, … 是共立爲。”
＜TRANS＞For “桓帝” (Emperor Huan, AD146-168) and “靈帝” (Emperor Ling, AD168-189), “倭國大亂” (WA-koku-TAIRAN, Civil War of WA) happened in “倭” (WA, now Japan). Each districts in “倭” (WA) mutually declared the subjugation and attacked each other. There was no King “歴年” (for several decades). And there was a girl named “卑彌呼” (HIMIKO). All of persons of “倭” co-commended her to Queen.
This is a well-known passage. There is also the same content noted in “魏志倭人伝” (Gishi Wajinden). “魏志倭人伝” is popularly called in Japan. The formal name of “魏志倭人伝” is “烏丸鮮卑東夷傳,倭人” (Biographies of Wuhuan Xianbei Dongyi, WA people) of “魏書” (Book of WEI) of “三國志” (Records of the Three Kingdoms) of China.
※ The last era of the Emperor Ling is ”中平”, which is for AD184-189. And the character ”中平” is inscribed on the Iron Sword excavated in “Todaijiyama Tumulus” of NARA-prefecture in Japan at AD1961.
From “桓靈閒倭國大亂”, “倭國大亂” period is AD146-183. “歴年” is generally the meaning for several decades. Here it is for 4 decades of AD146-183. “倭國大亂” (WA-koku-TAIRAN) finished and “卑彌呼” (HIMIKO) was enthroned at AD183. In just after the enthroning, AD184-189, it is “中平” era name period and “黃巾賊” (Yellow Turban Rebellion) of the end of the Emperor Ling of the Later HAN Dynasty of China. And it is “弥生後期初頭” (the Earliest age of the Late-YAYOI period) in Japan.
The pottery chronology of Jar-Coffins of TYPE-Ⅱa-Ⅱc (parallel to TYPE-Tateiwa Old), TYPE-Ⅲa-Ⅲc (parallel to TYPE-Tateiwa New), TYPE-Ⅳa in northern Kyushu Island at the End of the Middle-YAYOI and the Earliest age of the Late-YAYOI period in Japan were shown.
TYPE-Tateiwa Old is parallel to TYPE-Ⅱa-Ⅱc period. But they are different kinds each other. It’s at the early half of “倭國大亂” (WA-koku-TAIRAN) period.
At the next later half of “倭國大亂”, TYPE-Tateiwa New intensely affected to TYPE-Ⅲa-Ⅲc because of the predominance of “倭國大亂”. Therefore TYPE-Ⅲa-Ⅲc equal to TYPE-Tateiwa New roughly. In this way, at the End of the Middle-YAYOI period of northern Kyushu Island in Japan, TYPE-Tateiwa of the ONGA River basin had been strongly influential. TYPE-Tateiwa coffins, which have the shape of the baggy body, was strongly affected by Gimhae of the Korean Peninsula south seaside.
On the other hand, at the Final of the Early-YAYOI period, Gimhae coffins of “汲田” (kunden) area, which landed from west Iki Island and Karatsu-city, were also seen. But here, we will look at TYPE-Tateiwa coffins of the ONGA River basin, which landed from east “芦屋” (Ashiya), at the End of the Middle-YAYOI period.
Here the only one decade differences between TYPE-Tateiwa Old and TYPE-Tateiwa New for the absolute age of the pottery chronology is important. Because there was not naturally the specific medicine of schistosoma in the YAYOI period like now. If the person became the big abdominal swell by schistosomiasis, it must be difficult to be for 2 decades. All of them would died for 5 years or one decade. In the end, large numbers of the Jar-Coffins had occurred within one decade. And the village had been annihilated.
Here we try to identify correctly the emergence time of Schistosoma Pollution on the JP HOMAN River. Is the age of many intensively occurred Jar-Coffins TYPE-Tateiwa Old of AD 160s or TYPE-Tateiwa New of AD 170s ? At this time, the only one decade differences for the absolute age of the pottery chronology is important.
AD 160s is the initial stage of the End of the Middle-YAYOI period of Japan. AD 170s is the final stage of the End of the Middle-YAYOI period. TYPE-Ⅳa is AD184-189, which is just after Queen HIMIKO enthroning, that is, the Earliest age of the Late-YAYOI period of Japan. Moreover TYPE-Ⅲc is around AD180-183, which is just before Queen enthroning, that is, the end of the End of the Middle-YAYOI period of Japan. Therefore TYPE-Ⅲa-Ⅲb is around AD 170s, which is parallel to TYPE-Tateiwa New. And TYPE-Ⅱa-Ⅱc is around AD 160s, which is parallel to TYPE-Tateiwa Old. It may slide to AD 150s.
In the upper stage of the figure, the photos are the Jar-Coffins of ① “柚ノ木” (YUNOKI). There is not the mention of TYPE in the report. It has the barrel-shaped body of Gimhae’s characteristic. But it has also the flat and sharped bottom similar to TYPE-Ⅱa-Ⅱc. Here we identified that these are TYPE-Tateiwa Old of Gimhae system, which is parallel to TYPE-Ⅱa-Ⅱc.
In the lower stage of the above figure, the photos are the Jar-Coffins of ② “永岡2次” (NAGAOKA 2nd). In report, these are TYPE-Ⅱa-Ⅱc. The bottom part is flat and sharp shape. These followed “汲田” Jar-Coffin of the previous west Karatsu-city. The body part is generally strait without bulge. The body side swells sometimes by being affected the Vase of the ONGA-River-style Pottery. But mostly, the body side is straight without swelling.
“永岡2次” is also TYPE-Ⅱa-Ⅱc and there is no next TYPE Ⅲ. “道場山1区” (DOJOYAMA 1-ku), “柚ノ木” (YUNOKI), and “永岡2次” (NAGAOKA 2nd), these three Ruins are geographically in the upper stream of Schistosoma Pollution. And the age of these three Ruins are TYPE-Ⅱ or TYPE-Tateiwa Old parallel to TYPE-Ⅱ. It is at the early half of WA-koku-TAIRAN. And these three Ruins were annihilated without next TYPE Ⅲ.
Even though it is the same TYPE parallel to TYPE-Ⅱa-Ⅱc. Why only YUNOKI and DOJOYAMA of “奴國” (NA-koku) of “倭國” (WA-koku) changed extremely to TYPE-Tateiwa Old been affected from Gimhae landed in Ashiya ? The cause is the failure of Neukdo-Dong around AD100. NA-koku is the sea worker. The Gold Seal of NA-koku in the Fukuoka City Museum is excavated on “志賀島” (Shikano-shima), where was an isolated Island in HAKATA Bay. The isolated Island is the hiding place of the sea worker. The main of the hegemony of NA-koku was the import of the newest Gimhae iron tools via “Neukdo-Dong” trade of the Korean Peninsula south seaside. But “Neukdo-Dong” had failed around AD100. NA-koku had lost the hegemony in the Korean Peninsula south seaside. At AD107, “倭國王帥升” was recorded. There is the rumour, which NA-koku of Jar coffin group and “帥升” of Wooden coffin group battled on “津屋崎” (Tsuyazaki) of Fukutsu-city. Jar coffin group and Wooden coffin group were “XX” relationship each other. NA-koku had not been able to be imported the newest Gimhae iron tools of the Korean Peninsula south seaside.
But after AD150, Gimhae Royal Graves changed to Wooden-Chamber Grave. It has solved in a short period of 50 years. “奴國” (NA-koku) can import the iron tools again. NA-koku kept up their appearance as the sea worker of importing the iron tools in northern Kyushu Island. But in return, it is necessary to be submissive to Gimhae Wooden-Chamber Grave. Therefore the Jar-Coffins of NA-koku is TYPE-Tateiwa Old, which is affected extremely by the Gimhae barreling body of landing in Ashiya. But there is still no TYPE-Tateiwa Old in its name “立岩” (Tateiwa) village. The burial system represents the ruler of the age. In Gimhae, only the royal tomb had changed from Wooden Coffin Grave to Wooden-Chamber Grave.
On the other hand, NAGAOKA of YAMATAI-koku of south did not touch on the import of the iron tools. The TYPE of the jar coffin is TYPE-Ⅱa-Ⅱc similar to west “汲田” (Kunden) of Karatsu-city. In the same period, TYPE-Tateiwa Old of DOJOYAMA of the NA-koku of north and TYPE-Ⅱa-Ⅱc of NAGAOKA of YAMATAI-koku of south were different extremely. Around AD160, the early half of WA-koku-TAIRAN, the NA-koku of north was like the puppet government of the Wooden-Chamber Grave of the Gimhae royal tomb.
After AD150, the Wooden-Chamber Grave of the Gimhae royal tomb affected to northern Kyushu Island. What is the Wooden-Chamber Grave and the power landed in Ashiya of the ONGA River ? We will look at from the 1st landing of the ONGA-River-style Pottery in Ashiya, that is , AD770 in long long ago.
8.5. First landing is BC770 on Ashiya
The ONGA River basin is the 1st landing point of the ONGA-River-style Pottery. In the river bottom of the river mouth, a lot of new type pottery were excavated and named as the ONGA-River-style Pottery. Moreover in this area, there are many mythical and legendary stories remained. We will look at from the 1st appearance of the ONGA-River-style Pottery with referening to the remaining old tales in these area.
The ONGA-River-style Pottery landed in “芦屋” (Ashiya). And firstly, it seems that the base was constructed on the river mouth area of the ONGA River. And they advanced into the upper stream. The ONGA-River-style Pottery at the earliest period had been excavated in the river bottom of the ONGA River near “立岩” (Tateiwa) being the local native village. It is extremely high quality. It seems to be the presents to native Tateiwa village placed in the east side of the ONGA River.
In the figure, ☆ symbol is the typical ONGA-River-style Pottery excavated in the river bottom near Tateiwa. The photo URL of the pottery is follow.
https://collection.kyuhaku.jp/gallery/51.html
The shape of the ONGA-River-style Pottery is very similar to the Vase of “彩陶” (Painted Pottery) of “辛店文化” (Xindian Culture) of China. “辛店文化” is a successor of “仰韶文化” (Yangshao culture) much later. The side pattern is called “重弧文” (JP;jukomon, multi-lined arc pattern). This pattern is sometimes also seen in Painted Pottery of Xindian Culture of China. But the pattern has been inscribed by the carving tools of threefold-lines or fourfold-lines without the painting color. The painting, which has always in Painted Pottery of the Xindian Culture of China, has only sometimes in Japan, that is , only the inscribed pattern. In Japan, these pottery is called “彩文土器” (Saimon Doki).
But there is the decisive different point. “双耳” (Twin-Earlobes), which has always in Painted Pottery of the Xindian Culture of China, does not exist in “彩文土器” of Japan at all. There are many differences between Painted Pottery of the Xindian Culture of China and “彩文土器” of Japan. Therefore the ONGA-River-style Pottery might be directly affected by the original before the changing of Painted Pottery of China, that is, the pottery of Ubaid culture (Tell al-‘Ubaid and Tepe Gawra) of Mesopotamia. The ONGA-River-style Pottery is just similar with the Ubaid & Gawra Pottery.
It become to the mythical story from here. The prophet Isaiah noted “Ends of the Earth” and “Islands along Seacoast” in “Isaiah 40” (chapter 40) and later of “Book of Isaiah” around BC700. The English version is in “Bible (King James)/Isaiah”. The prophet Isaiah group landed in Ashiya around BC700. The story of the long-nosed goblin, which is called “TENGU” in Japan, remained in native Kurate-machi of Fukuoka prefecture as a legendary. It thought to be that the great nose peoples of Mesopotamia directly landed in Ashiya by sea route around BC700.
Moreover the ONGA-River-style Pottery advanced into the upper stream. They went over west beyond the mountain pass, which is called “ショウケ越” (Syokegoe) in Japan. And they constructed the base on “中･寺尾” (NAKA/TERAO), where is on the east side of the MIKASA River of the FUKUOKA Plain.

https://sitereports.nabunken.go.jp/ja/16963
In that time, “夜臼式土器” (Yuusu-style Pottery) of the first comer existed on the very center of the FUKUOKA Plain, where is “板付G7a” (Itazuke G7a) “12-14 layer” on the west side of the MIKASA River. The Yuusu-style Pottery is Wooden-Coffin Grave and the Dolmen group, which is called “支石墓” (Shisekibo) in Japan. In “Itazuke G7a”, “板付式土器” (Itazuke-style Pottery) appeared on “7-9 layer” and coexisted. The Itazuke-style Pottery was accompanied by “彩陶” (Painted Pottery), which is called “彩文土器” (Saimon-Doki) in Japan.
The remnants of vetical-long flake of the obsidian tools, which is made of the obsidian of Koshidake of Imari-city at the Jomon period, existed in “道場山” (DOJOYAMA) and “御笠地区E” (MIKASA-chiku E). (shown ■ symbol in the figure) They were the sea workman, who the obsidian was collected, worked, and did the sails with crossing the sea. They dealed also with the shell coins and shell arm ring of OKINAWA Island. They are “ＸＸ” friendship with Yuusu Pottery of Shisekibo and Wooden-Coffin Grave.
Here we look at the origin of Yuusu-style Pottery, Painted Pottery, and Itazuke Pottery, which had appeared in Itazuke G7a. Before that time, we talk the story a little about the landing of Mesopotamia group on southern Kyushu Island around AD150.
2nd landing at AD150
22178_1_弥生人の祈り免田式土器の謎.pdf
https://sitereports.nabunken.go.jp/ja/22178
Flying the time to AD150-250, Mesopotamia group again directly landed in Kyushu Island of Japan by sea route. In Japan, the period is at the End of the Middle-YAYOI and the Late-YAYOI period, that is, WA-koku-TAIRAN and Queen Himiko period. The evidence of this story is “免田式” (MENDA-style) Pottery, which appeared suddenly only in southern of the Kyushu Island of Japan around AD150. The figure shows the distribution of MENDA-style Pottery. There is no in north Kyushu Island at all. But it gathers in the basin around HITOYOSHI-city of the KUMA River of southern KUMAMOTO Prefecture (small rectangle).
And in the Sira River and the KASE River of the KUMAMOTO Plain (large rectangle), it also gathers. But there is no in the KIKUCHI Rive basin of northern KUMAMOTO Prefecture. This KIKUCHI River basin is the base, which “狗古智卑狗” (JP;Kukochihiko) attacked Queen HIMIKO of YOSHINOGARI at AD247. But there is MENDA-style Pottery only a few. After all, “狗古智卑狗” is the power of the ONGA-River-style Pottery. “狗古智卑狗” landed in Ashiya of the river mouth of the ONGA River from the Korean Peninsula. They went to the south along the ONGA River. Moreover they reached to the south side of the YOSHINOGARI of Queen’s capital place. On the other hand, the powers of MENDA-style Pottery might have also participated in the attacking to the YOSHINOGARI at AD247. Because it is as follow reasons. Because they lived separately in the north and south without discord. And they are the same Long & Thin neck Vase, that is, the origin is the same powers. Moreover there is the common point, which they appeared suddenly at AD150 and disappeared unexpectedly at AD250. Despite being on the winning side. Considering this phenomena, they are not the immigrants but the career soldier collectives only in order to invade. If they win militarily, the mission completed. There is no reason being there.
We will look at the distribution figure again. In the south, KAGOSHIMA Prefecture, it gathers around ISA-city of the Sendai River upstream of the prefecture north-west area. It went slightly to Kokubu-city, the south of that. It also gathers in Minamisatsuma-city of the prefecture south-west area, where is famous “丸のみ” (JP;marunomi, gouge) stone tool used the making of wooden canoe. But there is not in the Osumi Peninsula of Kagoshima Prefecture at all. In Miyazaki Prefecture, it exists only along the Oyodo River basin. It does not exist in Nobeoka-city of northern Miyazaki Prefecture and Oita Prefecture. In Nagasaki Prefecture, it exists only around “山の寺梶木” (Yamanotera-Kajiki) of southern Shimabara Peninsula. Flying the story to Mesopotamia, SUSA was occupied by the Roman Empire at AD116. It seems that they preoccupied the Susa group regions one after another.
The characteristic pottery of the MENDA-style Pottery is Long & Thin neck Vase. But Long & Thin neck Vase also have been excavated in the immigrants village of northern Kyushu Island at the same period, which is from the Korean Peninsula. Here we compare.
Left figure is Long & Thin neck Vase landed in northern Kyushu Island from the Korean Peninsula. It is excavated in IRAIJYAJU of Chikushino-city of FUKUOKA Prefecture. Right figure is Long & Thin neck Vase landed in southern Kyushu Island by south sea route. It is excavated in NATSUME of Nishiki-machi of Kuma-gun of southern KUMAMOTO Prefecture. This right photo is “免田式” (Menda-style) Pottery. It is similar Long & Thin neck Vase from a distance. But the right “Menda-style” Pottery has frequently “重弧文”. Maximum characteristic has the pointed shape of the body side. This is “Ubaid Pottery”. On the other hand, the Korean Peninsula’s Long & Thin neck Vase of the left figure does not have the multi-lined arc pattern at all. All of them are the Plain Pottery, which is flat surface and no patterns. The body side is soft curve characteristically unlike the MENDA-style Pottery. The side of body is not angular. And there is sometimes the cray band on the side of body.
In the Kumamoto Plane, south “Menda-style” Pottery and Korean Peninsula Long & Thin neck Vase were mixed. Therefore the identification is a little difficult. But there is not “Menda-style” Pottery in the ONGA River basin of northern Kyushu Island at all. UBAIDO Pottery of Mesopotamia had come directly to southern Kyushu Island via Zhejiang Province of China. The successors of the prophet Isaiah a long while later, that is, Saint Paul, who declared “the Gospel” in Roma, is. It seems that these apostles had made directly on the expedition to the farthest land Far East, Kyushu Island of Japan.
※ Long & Thin Vase of “IRAIJYAKU” from the Korean Peninsula were described the details in Series SEQ2 “The immigrants of IRAIJYAKU” later.
In next, we will look at the origin of the Yuusu-style Pottery, which appeared in “Itazuke G7a” around BC1040, and the origin of the Painted Pottery.
8.6. Painted and “夜臼式” pottery
“麗水” (Lishui) exists in the upper stream of “欧江” (Oujiang River) of “温州” (Wenzhou) of Zhejiang Sheng of China. The Dolmen gathered. “瑞安” (Ruian) exists on the river mouth of “飛雲江” (Feiyun River) of southern Wenzhou. They are the merchant, which is called Ruian Overseas Chinese. South “昙石山” (Tanshishan) of Fujian Sheng is the ruins of Painted Pottery from BC2000. This river mouth area of the Min-Jiang River is the paddy rice field. It is “闽越” (Maing-hong).
Concerning the landing in northern Kyushu Island, the Dolmen of Lishui of Zhejiang Sheng, which is called “支石墓” (Shisekibo) in Japan, landed previously as “夜臼式土器” (Yuusu-style Pottery) or “刻目突帯文土器” (Kizamime Tottaimon Doki). They landed in Jeju-do Island and Lishui of Korea on the way and constructed many Dolmens. These Dolmens registered as a World Heritage Site. And they landed in northern Kyushu Island of Japan. The typical ruins is “12-14 layer” of “Itazuke G7a”, which located in the west side of the MIKASA River of the FUKUOKA Plain of Japan. It is “夜臼式土器” (Yuusu-style Pottery) in Japan.
In next, “闽越” and the Painted Pottery of “昙石山” of Fujian Province appeared in “7-9 layer” of “Itazuke G7a” and co-existed with previous Yuusu-style Pottery. In this “7-9 layer”, many Painted Pottery were excavated. It is South Ruian and Painted Pottery group. Because they are the agriculture, the wet-rice farming started really in northern Kyushu Island.
On the other hand, Ruian also exists in the north of China. In the old days, it is “瑞安県”, which had existed in “葫芦島市” (Huludao) of Liaoning Province. The group of landing in “芦屋” (Ashiya) of northern Kyushu Island from “葫芦島市” (Huludao) is the ONGA-River-style Pottery. And they constructed the base “NAKA/TERAO” in the east side of the MIKASA River of the FUKUOKA Plain, mentioned above.
