Beyond Illusions to the True Japan

　This is a historical expedition that traces the memories that lie dormant in the land of Kyushu and depicts a realistic picture of Yamato that transcends illusions.

　The bloodline of the Usa-no-kunizo leads us to the depths of history.

　The author, a descendant of the Usa Kunizo, an ancient powerful family in Usa, visits ancient burial mounds and historical sites in Kyushu and other regions to trace his roots and the history of Japan. In 20 chapters of historical research, the author draws a new outline of history, based on topography, archaeological data, and documents, without being bound by existing theories.
