The 大和政権 (Yamato Seiken) refers to the early Japanese state that emerged around the 3rd century AD. It is characterized by the consolidation of power under a central authority, primarily led by the Yamato clan. This period marked the beginning of a more organized political structure in Japan, which laid the foundation for future imperial rule. The 大和政権 played a crucial role in unifying various tribes and regions of Japan. It established a system of governance that included the adoption of Chinese cultural influences, such as Buddhism and Confucianism, which significantly shaped Japanese society and politics in subsequent centuries.
