Der dritte Teil meiner Youtube-Serie zur Geschichte Japans reflektiert die Kofun-Zeit; das Zeitalter also, indem Yamato aufstieg und auf der koreanischen Halbinsel Krieg führte, bis es sich schließlich zurückzog und als „Land der aufgehenden Sonne“ neu erfand.

Mein Prompt für ChatGPT lautete dieses Mal:

Create a song playing at the end of the 7th century AD in Japan. It’s the end of the era of big tumuli called kofun, when the kingdom of Yamato rose to power. These tumuli were decorated with clay figures called haniwa which took the form of warriors, horses, or holy deer. But in the 6th century, when Buddhism was imported from the Korean peninsula, these kofun fell into decay. Yamato waged war on the peninsula to help their Korean allies, but when they were defeated, they retreated to the Japanese islands, and Yamato was renamed the Land of the Rising Sun. Create a song from the perspective of an old warrior who, while looking at the haniwa of an old kofun mound, remembers how his ancestors had fought in Korea but also brought Buddhism and the new ways of life from the continent with them as they returned, leading to the rebirth of Yamato as the Land of the Rising Sun. Conclude the song with a prayer for peace in Japan and its neighboring countries.
