Tsukushi no Kimi Iwai

From EverybodyWiki Bios & Wiki



Tsukushi no Kimi Iwai (筑紫君磐井) was a Japanese clan famous for their link to the Iwai Rebellion.[1]

Mise-maruyama Tumulus, thought to be the tomb of Emperor Kinmei

Against this backdrop, in the early sixth century, Ōkimi Wohodo (Emperor Keitai) emerged from the Ōmi to the Hokuriku with a background of chieftains, and was received by Yamato to unify the royal line. However, it took 20 years for Wohodo to enter the Nara Basin, which indicates that the establishment of this royal power was not always smooth. In 527, during the reign of Ōkimi Wohodo, the Tsukushi no Kimi Iwai (筑紫君磐井), a powerful family from Northern Kyūshu, collaborated with the Shilla and came into military conflict with the Yamato kingship (Iwai Rebellion). Although the rebellion was quickly suppressed, it led to a decline in royal expansion into the southern part of the Korean Peninsula, and the Korean policy of Ōtomo no Kanamura failed, rapidly shaking the influence of Wa on the Korean Peninsula. After the death of Emperor Keitai, from 531 to 539, there was a possible division of royal power, and some believe that the kingship of Ankan and Senka conflicted with that of Kinmei (The civil war of the Keitai and Kinmei dynasties). On the other hand, there is the dominant view that, after the appearance of Ōkimi Wohodo, the integration of the entire regions from the Tōhoku region to the southern part of Kyūshu region progressed rapidly, and especially after the Iwai Rebellion, an area under direct jurisdiction, called miyake (屯倉), was settled in various regions, and the political unification progressed domestically.[2] By the way, in 540, Ōtomo no Kanamura who had supported Ōkimi Wohodo lost his position.[3][4]
