Kumaso Province

Kumaso Province or Land of Kumaso[1] (熊曽国, Kumaso no kuni) was the name of Hyūga Province on the island of Kyushu in the Kojiki.

[2] Its boundaries are within Miyazaki Prefecture.

The land of Kumaso is mentioned in the mythological genesis of the island of Kyushu,[1] and also plays a part in a tale of Yamato Takeru - both recorded in the Kojiki.

[3] The history of Komaso started and ended before the Ritsuryō province system was established at the beginning of the 8th century with the Taihō Code.
