64 He is chiefly notable to foreigners because he is said to have lived through the reigns of three emperors and to have reached the age of three hundred years. 65 She is not included in the government list of emperors, and is given in Appendix I. as empress-regent. 66 See _Kokushian_, compiled under the Department of Education. _Ad Locum_. 67 See Appendix I. _ 68 Transactions of the Asiatic Society of Japan_, vol. x., Supplement. 69 E.

It conflicts seriously with the chronology of this period to learn, as both Mr. Satow and Mr. Chamberlain have pointed out, that the _Thousand Character Essay_ was not written until two centuries after the date assigned to the advent of Wani. 81 The _Kojiki’s_ statement is that the elder brother was banished to Iyo. 82 The name, “Island of the Dragon-Fly” had already been given to the Main island by Jimmu Tenno. 83 In these early days a _muro_ or excavation of the earth, roofed with timber, was often used as a residence.
