The third-century Chinese chronicle ""Wei zhi"" (Record of Wei) is
responsible for Japan's most enduring ancient mystery. This early
history tells of a group of islands off the China coast that were
dominated by a female shaman named Himiko. Himiko ruled for more
than half a century as head of the largest chiefdom, traditionally
known as Yamatai, until her death in 248. Yet no such person
appears in the old Japanese literature. Who was Himiko and where
was the Yamatai she governed? In this, the most comprehensive
treatment in English to date, a senior scholar of early Japan turns
to three sources - historical, archaeological, and mythological -
to provide a multifaceted study of Himiko and ancient Japanese
society.
