Hi Province facts for kids
Hi Province (called Hi no kuni in Japanese) was a very old area in Japan. It was located in what is now Nagasaki, Saga, and Kumamoto prefectures. Sometimes, people called it Hishū.
This ancient region was like a large territory or state in old Japan. Its borders covered parts of modern-day Nagasaki (but not the islands of Tsushima and Iki), Saga, and Kumamoto prefectures.
History of Hi Province
When Did Hi Province Exist?
The story of Hi Province began and ended a very long time ago, even before the start of the 8th century. It existed before the Taihō Code was put into place.
What Was the Taihō Code?
The Taihō Code was a set of laws and rules created in Japan in the early 700s. These laws helped organize the government and how the country was run. Since Hi Province was gone before these laws, it means it was a really, really old part of Japan's history.
