[Sect. CLXX.—Emperor Ken-zō (Part IV.—His Age and Place of Burial).]

So the Heavenly Sovereign died, and His Augustness Ohoke ruled the succession of Heaven’s sun.[1] The Heavenly Sovereign’s august years were thirty-eight, and he ruled the Empire for eight years. His august mausoleum is on the mound of Ihatsuki at Katnwoka.[2]


  1. See Sect. XXXII, Note 27.
  2. For Katawoka see Sect. LX, Note 29. Iha-tsuki probably means “rock-platter,” and seems to have been the name of a little plateau.
