The Ancient Japanese Good-Family Clans and Piracy (6-2) ——The Further Purge of Silla Connections (2)——

Oki Province was an island province, which was about 50 km North off Izumo Province. They both belong to Shimane Prefecture today. The Tsushima Current washes northeastward the northern seashores of the mainland Japan, while the Mamiya Current flows southwestward along the southern seashores of Primorsky and the western seashores of the Korean Peninsula, parts of the Asian Continent both. Accordingly, you can easily sail around the Sea of Japan counterclockwise. Ochi Sadahara used to rule Oki Province as a governor, such a remote island province out of the eyes of the central government yet such a convenient spot to smuggle with Silla. Later, he was accused of the treason against the central government joining hands with Silla by Azumi Fukuo, who was not registered as a farmer or a fisher in Oki.
