According to south Korean media, the Agency of Culture under the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan posted on its website on April 8 an article distorting some of cultural treasures which the Japanese imperialists looted in Korea during the period of Three Kingdoms as those dating back to "Imna era".

This is a sinister plot to justify the story of "Mimana Miyake" meaning "Japan's government agency of Imna" cooked up by paid historians of Japan and its colonial rule over Korea at any cost.

"Mimana Miyake" was nothing but a temporary administrative organ of the Yamato regime established in Kaya state of Korea in Okayama Prefecture in West Japan around the sixth century.

Nevertheless, Japan raised pseudo-scientific theory that the Japanese army of the Yamato regime which did not exist in the fourth century dominated the area south of the River Han for hundreds of years after occupying Kaya (Imna) area in southern Korea only to become a laughing stock of the world. The Japanese authorities are, however, peddling it to make the world recognize it.

The Japanese government is pushing ahead with distortion of history in real earnest in the wake of its clarification of its stand to exercise the "right to collective self-defense" through changed interpretation of its Pacifist Constitution last year. This clearly indicates that the Japanese reactionaries' sinister scenario to reinvade Korea by justifying the colonial rule over Korea in the past has entered the phase of its implementation.
