Gishiwajinden Tour: Ito-koku and Na-koku
Example of the large bronze mirrors found in the area of Ito-koku. Is this the same kind of mirror as the Yatakagami held at Ise Shrine? What does it mean for them to have had such a mirror in the 3rd century?
This episode we covered the final leg of our trip to Ito and Na—which is to say Itoshima and Fukuoka. There are a few photos, below, and the famous mirror at the start of this post.
