Timeline
Kimigayo is a hymn to the Kyushu Dynasty, while Hinomaru is a song of praise for the Japanese archipelago, "a volcanic island in the sea" or "a rocky island in the sea". The history of the Hinomaru (Japanese flag) in Japan is too far and too long," and in response to the claim that the Hinomaru is a symbol of Japan's past aggression, "From the 18th to the 20th century, European powers together violated Asia," "The Hinomaru is a symbol of Japan's past aggression. Those who call for the "replacement" of "all the flags of the powers" should, if they have the same "conscience", demand the "replacement" of "all the flags of the powers". The "line" of the movement would not make sense without a strong demand for the "replacement" of the "Japanese" flag.
He died on October 14, 2015, at a hospital in Nishikyō-ku, Kyoto, Japan.
Since 2010, he has been republishing "There was no 'Yamataikoku'", "The Lost Kyushu Dynasty", "Stolen Myths", and other works on ancient history as "Takehiko Furuta: Collection of Ancient History" from Minerva Shobo. In addition, on September 10, 2011, he published "Himika Himika: Demons on the Road, Few Who See Them" as part of Minerva's selection of Japanese biographies.
In 2009 (Heisei 21), he claimed to have found quotations from the Kokki and Tennōki in the Wada family documents. At the same time, he ceased publication of "It never happened".
In 2007 (Heisei 19), Furuta claimed to have discovered the "Kansei Genbunshi" of "Higashinichiryu Gai Sanggunshi" and published a photographic version of it the following year. The book includes an expert opinion piece by Kazuhiko Kasaya (Professor, Research Department, International Research Center for Japanese Studies). On the other hand, the claim that the handwriting matches that of Kihachiro Wada and others claim that the cover is in Wada Kihachiro's handwriting and the contents are a memorandum (probably leaked from a temple) for a monk to create a Chinese poem.
The Cultural History Laboratory at Showa Pharmaceutical University was discontinued after Furuta's retirement. The Citizens' Society for Ancient Research continued for a while as a research group independent of Furuta, but the journal was terminated and disbanded in December 2002 (Heisei 14). The people who left in support of Furuta formed several study groups, including the "Society of Furuta Historiography" and the "Society for the Study of Multidisciplinary Antiquity," and they united to publish an annual journal, "New Ancient Studies," in which Furuta refuted the claims of the Wada family document forgery group.。
After retiring from Showa Pharmaceutical University in March 1996 (Heisei 8), he returned to Muko City, Kyoto, where he continued to write and lecture, and in May 2006 (Heisei 18), he founded and directly edited the magazine "There Was No Truth in History".
Some of these theories, such as the theory that Emperor Jimmu actually existed, are based on trust in the contents of the Chronicles, and are therefore considered to be either Shakugaku- or right-wing. He also claims a theory denying the falsification of the Kotaiō Stele. In 1985, he conducted a field survey of the Gwanggaeto Stele to prove his theory and concluded that "there was no intentional alteration of the inscription.", to prove his theory. His active involvement earned him a certain amount of recognition from the academic community. Furuta's articles were published in Shigaku zasshi and Shirin, which attracted the attention of the academic community, and in his early years he was often mentioned by the mass media. This has attracted a large number of supporters and endorsers, as well as a number of people who have been fighting over his theory, including Minori Yasumoto,who argued with him over his own theory. At one time, the hypothesis (the theory of 邪馬壹国, as well as the content of the Shinran research period) appeared as a footnote in high school textbooks. The "Citizens' Society for the Study of Ancient Times" was organized as a group of supporters and readers, and the magazine "Citizens' Ancient Times" was published from 1979.
He also attracted attention in Shinran studies, and in 1975 he proposed the theory of the authenticity of the Sanmu-ki, a book that had been theorized to be a fake, and which kicked off a controversy in the academic world. In 1979, he was a part-time lecturer at the Ryukoku University Faculty of Letters. From April 1984 to March 1996, he worked at Showa Pharmaceutical University as a Cultural history Professor.
In 1969, he published his theory of Ichibankoku in History Magazine. In 1970, he left teaching and devoted himself to research. He has presented his own unique image of ancient history centered on the Kyushu dynasty theory, and has forced academic circles to reconsider their prevailing theories.
Born in Kitakata City, Fukushima Prefecture. Raised in Hiroshima Prefecture following the transfer of his father, an English teacher at an old junior high school. Graduated from Tohoku Imperial University in 1948.
