Abstract
;Osaka has often been said to be “the greatest kitchen among the whole country” not only as the second capital of ancient Japan but also as the true center of Japanese industry throughout the entire history. However, it is not well known to us that Osaka was one of the most important route in migration from the Korean Peninsula to Kinai(畿內) or Kanto(關東) area of Japanese archipelago, and that there still remains lots of traces showing the close relationship between the Four Kingdoms - Kaya(伽倻), Shilla(新羅),Koguryo(高句麗), and Baekche(百濟) - of the Korean Peninsula and ancient Japan. The purpose of this paper is to clarify such relationship focusing on the case of Baekche, especially in terms of Shinto shrines in Osaka area such as Kudaragonikishi-jinja(百濟王神社), Takaishi-jinja(高石神社), Shiratori-jinja(白鳥神社), Asukabe-jinja(飛鳥戶神社), Karakuni-jinja(辛國神社), Wani-jinja(王仁神社),Hachiouji-jinja(八王子神社) etc., as well as Buddhist temples such as Kudaradera(百濟寺), Kudara-amadera(百濟尼寺), Sailinji(西淋寺), Kenshoji(見性寺),Sharisonshoji(舍利尊勝寺), Shitennoji(四天王寺) etc.
