Excerpt from The Archaeological Journal, 1905, Vol. 62: Published Under the Direction of the Council of the Royal Archaeological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland, for the Encouragement and Prosecution of Researches Into the Arts and Monuments of the Early and Middle Ages

Now, both in the barrows and dolmens many swords have been found. The earliest, those in the barrows, are of bronze, straight, leaf-shaped, and double-edged, and these were cast in one piece in stone moulds. Such stone moulds, according to Captain Brinkley, still exist in Japan, though their antiquity is a matter of conjecture. Similar stone moulds are also found in Korea, and their existence, together with the fact that the barrows are most numerous in the south-western parts of Japan, probably indicates the route taken by the earliest immi grants, namely, by way of Korea, the Island of Tsushima and the western parts of Kyushu. The Island of Tsushima is easily visible on a clear day from both Korea and Kyushu.
