Events of Nintoku's Life
Although the Nihon Shoki states that Nintoku ruled from 313–399, modern research suggests those dates are likely inaccurate.
The achievements of Nintoku's reign which are noted in Nihon Shoki include:
- constructed a thorn field bank called Namba no Horie to prevent a flood in Kawachi plains and for development. It is assumed that this was Japan's first large-scale engineering works undertaking.
- established a thorn field estate under the direct control of the Imperial Court (まむたのみやけ)
- constructed a Yokono bank (horizontal parcel, Ikuno-ku, Osaka-shi).
