Chronicles of the National Government

Japanese: 国造本紀 - こくぞうほんぎ
Chronicles of the National Government

This is a book in one volume, which is the 10th volume of the "Kojiki." The "Kojiki" has a preface that says it was written by Prince Shotoku, but it is considered a forgery created in the early Heian period. However, a part of the "Tenjin Honki" in volume 3, the "Tenson Honki" in volume 5, and this "Kuni no Miyatsuko Honki" are noteworthy for their unique biographies not found in any other documents. The "Kuni no Miyatsuko Honki" lists over 130 kuni no miyatsuko throughout the country, starting with Yamato kuni no miyatsuko, and briefly records the period when each was appointed as kuni no miyatsuko and the name of the first kuni no miyatsuko. Among them are some that record later kokushi such as Izumi, Settsu, Tango, and Mimasaka, and some that are confusing such as Musashi and Musashi, and Kaga and Kaga, but on the whole they are based on fairly reliable ancient traditions and are valuable sources for research into ancient history. Included in the "Shin-Tei Zoho Kokushi Taikei."

Japanese:

『先代旧事本紀(せんだいくじほんぎ)』の巻第10にあたる一巻の書。『旧事本紀』は聖徳太子の撰(せん)という序文を有するが、平安初期につくられた偽書とされる。しかし、そのなかの巻第3「天神本紀」の一部、巻第5の「天孫本紀」、それにこの「国造本紀」は、他のいずれの文献にもみえない独自の所伝を載せていて注目される。「国造本紀」は、大倭国造(やまとくにのみやつこ)以下全国で130余りの国造を列挙し、それぞれに国造任命時代、初代国造名を簡単に記したものである。それらのなかには和泉(いずみ)、摂津、丹後(たんご)、美作(みまさか)など後世の国司を記載したところもあり、また无邪志(むさし)と胸刺(むさし)、加我(かが)と加冝(かが)など紛らわしいものもあるが、概してかなり信用できる古伝によっていると思われ、古代史研究の貴重な史料となる。『新訂増補国史大系』所収。
