Japan had now definitely embraced the policy of entrusting to private companies rather than to the state the duty of acquiring a fleet of vessels capable of serving as transports or auxiliary cruisers in time of war.

 Seimu - Wikipedia
Emperor Seimu (成務天皇) was the 13th imperial ruler of Japan.
No firm date can be assigned to this emperor and he is regarded by historians as a "legendary emperor".
This does not necessarily imply that no such person ever existed, just that there is insufficient material to assign him to a historical period.

The story is mythological, like the emperors most likely are, but it shows an awareness of the haniwa on the mound tombs in the early 8th century, shortly after the mound tombs and their haniwa ceased to be used.
And there are a lot of people in Japan and in the world who would refuse to let archaeologists or anyone else dig up the graves of their ancestors, especially in a country where none of the archaeological organizations has a code of ethics.
When the first histories of Japan were compiled in the early 8th century, the memory of these tombs was already lost and the writers had to guess.

 Emperors and Empresses of Japan - China History Forum, chinese history forum
Japan had an early tradition of empresses succeeding to the throne after the death of their husband (the emperor), and eventually passing the throne back to their sons.
The next female emperor was Empress Jito, a daughter of Tenji who reigned after the death of her husband Emperor Temmu in 686.
She was not formally installed as emperor until 690, but even during the reign of Temmu (when she was known as Empress Uno), she had ruled jointly with him.

 Kampo Medicine: The Practice of Chinese Herbal Medicine in Japan
Japan also has its famous contributors from the classical period (15th to 18th Centuries), such as Sanki Tashiro, Gonzan Goto, and Todo Yashimosu, and renowned 20th-Century physicians, such as Keisetsu Otsuka and Domei Yakazu, who helped restore Kampo after several decades of suppression during the rise of Western medicine in Japan.
In the building complex known as the Shosoin (also spelled Seisoyin), resides a collection of herbs that was presented in front of the Buddha statue in the Todaiji Temple at the Imperial Palace (see Figure 1).
Surveys conducted in Japan have revealed that the main uses of Kampo medicines are treatment of hepatitis, menopausal syndrome, common cold and other upper respiratory tract infections, autonomic nervous dysfunctions, constipation, cough and asthma, skin diseases (mainly eczema and other categories of dermatitis), lumbago and neuralgia, and gastro-intestinal disturbances.

With the [153]Moghuls, however, the names of the Emperors, more than their titles, reflected their pretentions: like Persian Jahângir, "Seize (gir) the world (jahân)." The most remarkable title borrowed from the West is probably Kaisar, but the Latin title itself arrived with Queen [154]Victoria, IND IMP, Imperatrix Indiae, in 1876.
The convention also makes it possible that Emperors who do not survive beyond their initial calendar year may not even be counted, which is the case, creating some confusion, with a couple of the [235]Mongols.
The new "Emperor" of China then decided that he would simply be known as the "First Emperor," and that all rulers after him would continue the sequence, "Second Emperor," etc. This made him (Shih^3-huang^2-ti^4), which he is still usually called.

 Korean Connections to the Japanese Empire?
The previous Emperor Seimu, his father, was buried in Saki (near Osaka), so we are left to assume that he, like most rulers of this time, lived around the area of Naniha (Osaka) and Yamato, just to the east.
That is to say that while in Japan before writing was common, ordinary events like the arrival of tribute or envoys would not as likely have been preserved by the oral records, the written Korean records of the same era would have routinely recorded such interactions, including some that involved Japan.
Whether this was a plan to flee militarily from Kaya or simply to gain armies against her Kaya foes is anyone's guess by this time, but she fully intended to remain a ruler in her own right and not simply revert to an honored matron, or be killed as a potential rival.

Together with Wakatarashihiko (Emperor Seimu; in Nihongi, called Wakatarashi) and Prince Iokinoirihiko, Yamatotakeru was one of three princes sired by Emperor Keikō.
In response, the emperor lauds Yamatotakeru as a kami in human form whom Heaven has sent as an aid, and Yamatotakeru likewise claims that, while a vassal, he has been successful in pacifying the rebels thanks only to reliance on the "might of the imperial spirit" (mitama no fuyu).
He dies lamenting that he cannot serve the emperor again, and in response, the emperor grieves for Yamatotakeru and makes a tour of the eastern provinces, seeking the aforementioned white bird.

Most scholars agree that the founding date of Japan as 660 BCE and the first thirteen emperors of Japan are mythical and not based on historical fact.
It is widely believed that the epoch of 660 BCE is set because it is a "xīn-yǒu" year in the sexagenary cycle, which was believed in Taoism as "proper year for revolution to take place".
