Therefore he advised Prince Naka to stand aside in favour of his maternal uncle, Prince Karu, who could be trusted to co-operate loyally in the work of reform and whose connexion with the Soga overthrow had been less conspicuous.
It should be noted, as illustrating the influence of the Takenouchi family that, in spite of the shame she had suffered, the lady Kuro became the Emperor's concubine. In fact, among the four nobles who administered the affairs of the empire during Richu's reign, not the least powerful were Heguri no Tsuku and Soga no Machi.
This uji also belonged to the Kami class, and its progenitor was Umashimade, who surrendered Yamato to Jimmu on the ground of consanguinity. Among all the uji of the Kami class the Mononobe and the Otomo ranked first, and after the latter's failure in connexion with Korea, the Mononobe stood alone. The fourth of the great uji was the Soga, descended from Takenouchi-no-Sukune.
The Emperor Yomei was the nephew of Soga no Umako. *The Emperor Bidatsu was a nephew of Umako. The Emperor Sushun was a nephew of Umako. *The Empress Suiko was a niece of Umako. Prince Shotoku was son-in-law of Umako. *Prince Anahobe was a nephew of Umako.
Mules slide from the narrow ledges, or break through the frail "soga" bridges, carrying their riders along with them, whirling through empty air to be plunged into foaming waters or dashed on sharp rocks below.

Thus, the general of the Mononobe, perched among the branches of a tree, with an unlimited supply of shafts and with highly trained skill as a bowman, was a formidable adversary. Moriya and his large following of born soldiers drove back the Soga forces three times. Success seemed to be in sight for the champion of the Kami.
He, however, marked his appreciation of Juro and Goro's filial piety by carefully observing their last testament, and by exonerating the Soga estate from the duty of paying taxes in order that funds might be available for religious rites on account of the spirits of the brothers. This encouragement of fidelity may well have been dictated by selfish policy rather than by moral conviction.
This disposition of the skull agrees with that of many Apayao towns, but it does not conform with the description of ancient times afforded us in the tales, nor with the practices of the Kalinga and Igorot people, both of whom preserve the trophy.
