1. Jingū was the wife of emperor Chaui and the first empress
to rule over Japan.
It is said that with the help of two divine jewels she was
able to control the tides.
She began her conquest against Korea in the 200’s, the year
in which Chaui died.
In legend it is said her unborn child Ojin remained in her
womb for 3 years giving her time to complete her conquest
and return to Japan.
Although many of the stories told about Jingū are
considered fictitious it is fact that by the 4th century Japan
had some control over south Korea.
