AB - Two islands Tsusima and Okinosima play a connecting role of Korea and Japan. Slightly laid in eastern side compared to Tsusima, Okinosima located in 145 km from Busan and its side in total is quite small: east-west 1.5km, south-north 0.5km. Therefore, Tsusima has always been highlighted to understand ancient connection between Korea and Japan rather than Okinosima. However, it should be discussed that Silla artefacts found from Okinosima are enormously crucial and those overwhelm the Tsusima artefacts. Since 1954 three academic excavations were conducted in Okinosima. There are 23 ritual relics in the middle of the island and Silla artefacts are as such: iron nail from Am-sang site, horse harness, gold ring, glass plate from Am-um site. Those artefacts are all found mainly from the royal Silla tombs in Korea. Other artefacts seemed to be buried in between late 5th to early 6th centuries. According to the historic written records on 'Three Kingdoms History', Wae(refers Japan) attacked Silla frequently in the time of 5th to 6th centuries and this means Wae and Silla had quite negative relationship. However, artefacts found from Okinosima and Osaka area are mostly made for royal or high class group. Then, the historic records and the fact do not match each other. The background of those 5th century artefacts can be presumed that Silla envoys stayed in Okinosima during their trip to Osaka and then prayed for the Sea God for their safety. In case of the 6th century artefacts, they could be understood in the same context of 5th century artefacts. However, 'History of Japan' recorded that Iwai Revolt which happened in 527. According to the record, Silla asked Iwai to stop Wae's expedition to Silla and Silla contributed amounts of precious jewellery to Iwai. In this process, Silla might send envoy to Iwai in Okinosima and the General of Iwai welcomed the envoy and then held religious or ritual services in Okinosima.
