San of Wa (讃) was a king of Wa in the first half of the 5th century (middle of the Kofun era). [1]
He was the brother of Chin, the first of the "Five kings of Wa" (although San is not seen as a king in the historical record [2]). Some have compared him to either the 15th Emperor Ojin, the 16th Emperor Nintoku, or the 17th Emperor Richu.
In the Book of Song, the Emperor Wu of Song issued an imperial decree in the 2nd year of Yongchou (421), ordering the Liu Song dynasty to grant Wu of Song a title for his tribute from Wanli.[3][4]
In the Book of Liang, the article on Japan states that there was a "tribute" to the king of Japan when Emperor An of Jin of the Jin (Eastern Jin), and that when An died, his younger brother Ya stood up.[5]
In the article of History of the Southern Dynasties, the Japanese envoys and tributes during the reign of Emperor An of the Jin dynasty and the contents of the Song Book of Biography are described.
According to the article in the Book of Jin, in the 9th year of the reign of Emperor An (413), Goguryeo and Japan sent an envoy to offer a variety of goods (one theory is that it was an envoy from the Emperor Hsin). In the "Taiping Yulan" an anecdote in the "Ukihee Kiyoi Note" states that the tribute included "a ginseng and other items offered by the Japanese government.[6][7]
