First edition, first printing, 2014. No obi. A very clean book. (As of September 6, 2025) "If you understand Nakoku, you can see Yamataikoku" Michitoshi Nakamura Price: ¥1600 Based on Takehiko Furuta's interpretation of the "Wei Zhi" (Records of the Three Kingdoms), this book re-examines Nakoku. Does "Nakoku" even read as "Nakoku"? Are the directions recorded in the "Wei Zhi" correct? And what exactly is a "ri" (unit of distance)? Furthermore, the book meticulously traces the journey of the Wei envoy in the Wei Zhi. Where does this lead to in terms of the location? Did it surpass Takehiko Furuta's theory of Yamatai-koku being located on the Hakata Bay coast? #MichitoshiNakamura #Michitoshi_Nakamura #book #history/JapaneseHistory
