Resumo: Analyzing the Soga’s fall as described in the Nihon Shoki (720 CE), this article explores how the chronicle’s writer sutilized climatic, astronomical, and other natural phenomena in justifying the coup d’etat of 645 CE, relating it to the Soga’s historical trajectory, the weight of the Chinese cosmological conceptionsin Japan at that time, and the context in which the Nihon Shoki was written. The paper also examines the role of omens, comparing their incidence in the three preceding and the three succeeding reigns to the core of the rise and fall of the Soga. The paper concludes with an exegetic analysis of these episodes, seeking arguments that corroborate the hypotheses presented.

Para isto, será analisada brevemente a trajetória dos Soga, o peso das concepções cosmológicas chinesas no Japão neste período, e o contexto de escrita do Nihon Shoki. Em seguida, os presságios serão estudados em detalhes, traçando um comparativo de seu grau de incidência frente aos três reinados anteriores e aos três reinados posteriores diante dos dois outros reinados onde localizam-se os episódios analisados – o cerne da ascensão e queda dos Soga. Feita esta análise quantitativa da incidência de ocorrências ominosas, o estudo procederá para uma análise exegética dos episódios, de modo a mobilizar argumentos que corroboremcom a hipótese levantada.UFBA2022-12-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionDouble-blid peer-reviewed articleArtigo avaliado por pares em regime de duplo anonimatoapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/4935910.9771/aa.v0i66.49359Afro-Ásia; No. 66 (2022); 13-44Afro-Ásia; n. 66 (2022); 13-441981-14110002-0591reponame:Afro-Ásia (Online)instname:Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)instacron:UFBAporhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/article/view/49359/28441Copyright (c) 2023 Kauê Otávio Metzgerhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMetzger, Kauê Otávio2023-03-18T14:17:32Zoai:ojs.periodicos.ufba.br:article/49359Revistahttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasiaPUBhttps://periodicos.ufba.br/index.php/afroasia/oaiafroasia@ufba.br1981-14110002-0591opendoar:2023-03-18T14:17:32Afro-Ásia (Online) - Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA)false
