Considering that "Shoku Nihongi" (Chronicle of Japan Continued) contain the same term for describing the entry into politics of Imperial Prince Obito (also known as Emperor Shomu), who was a crown prince, it seems to be appropriate to understand that he stood on an equal footing with Kusakabe (Ken SHINOKAWA). |
『続日本紀』に皇太子である首親王(聖武天皇)の政治参加におなじ用語を使っていることからみると、草壁と匹敵する立場に立ったと理解するのが妥当だと思われる(篠川賢)。 |
