| According to the historical record Nihonshoki
, we read in the passage of the 45
th year
of the Emperor Nintoku that a strange
bird
was caught and presented to the Emperor.
When an immigrant from Kudara (old
Korea
) named Sakekimi saw the bird , he
told the
Emperor that the bird was a hawk .
The Emperor
told his subordinates to rear hawks
around
here and amused himself by hunting
with hawks
.The old tomb is said to be Sakekimi's
and
the land name of Takaai around here
comes
from the legend of hawks . |
