􋺷日本後紀􋺸 속의 ‘今上’ 小考

About the “Keumsang(今上)” in Nihon Kōki(日本後紀)

This paper examined the notation of “Keumsang (Current Emperor)” as seen in “Nihon Kōki”. It was possible to confirm that the notation of “Keumsang” enabled to analyze the establishing time of each annals at the compilation stage of “Nihon Kōki”. And in the result of examining the notated annals regarding “Keumsang” by Emperor Saga-Tenno and Junna-Tenno, both emperors, who led the 1st and 2nd compilation process, had a great possibility to reflect some parts of their own records (當代紀) in the compilation of “Nihon Kōki” as a kind of current emperor s historical records. In my previous paper, I did not mention much about the rewriting history policy of Junna-Tenno, but the study result of this paper could catch a glimpse of the possibility that Junna-Tenno also prepared his own current emperor s historical record.
