ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book discusses genealogy and legend in ancient Japan. Modern research of the genealogies and legends of ancient Japanese clans can be divided broadly into three stages. The first stage was from the 1930s to the 1940s. The second stage was from the 1950s to the 1970s. The third stage was after the 1980s. The main genealogy of Enchin Keizu can be divided into three parts. In Part A, Emperor Keikō and his children were recorded. Part B is the genealogy of the Iyo-no-Mimurawake-no-Kimi clan. Part C is the genealogy of the Inagi-no-Obito clan. In the middle of the eighth century, the genealogies of many clans were connected to that of the Owari-no-Muraji clan, according to the process that the genealogies of multiple groups of the Owari-no-Muraji clan were united under Hikohoakari-no-Mikoto.
