explanation: Located in Shimane prefecture, Izumo region had been the first political center of Japan, because not only it owned an important iron mine but a maritime current arrives there from the eastern Korean coast. According to Nihonshoki, the dynasty should have been created by Susano and his son in law, Okuninushi no mikoto but later peacefully surrendered to Yamato dynasty. The discovery of a huge number of bronze sabers at Kojin valley in 1984 confirmed the existence of this dynasty.
