The history of Japan is well documented in Chinese books, and there is a long description of Woguo in The Post-Han Dynasty. When I visited the Japanese Museum of History and Folklore, I saw their collection of “post-Han Dynasty Songs”, which was listed as Japan’s national treasure because it was the earliest source of Japanese history. The book said that in the Eastern Han Dynasty Emperor Guangwu period, Woguo came tribute. The book also records a Woguo Queen called Himmi, very decent, unified ministries, interpretation of the island legend. For “Wogoku Biography”
