Karakokki

Japanese: 駕洛国記 - からこっき

A history book from the early Goryeo period that gives a detailed account of the ancient Korean Gimhae Gaya Kingdom and its subsequent history. Also known as the Garakgi. Compiled in 1076 by Kim Ryong-il, the prefect of Geumju, the Garakgukgi is an excerpt from the book. From this article, we learn that at the 11th century Gimhae-up festival, religious ceremonies were held based on the myth of King Founder's descent and the myth of Queen Founder's voyage across the sea. It is also important as a geography book, as it contains articles on the history of the Gimhae Gaya Kingdom and the administrative and economic affairs of Gimhae-up in the early Silla and Goryeo periods.
