By the way, in modern Okayama one sees "Kibi" everywhere, even as much as "Bizen," I think, just as in Nagano "Shinshu" is everywhere. Perhaps the name is promoted because it covers the whole of Okayama Prefecture.--[[User:Bethetsu|Bethetsu]] 22:33, 20 July 2007 (PDT)

+::You say, "in the [[Kojien Dictionary]] Kibi is described as a 'kuni.'" Just like Yamatai-koku, Izumo no Kuni, etc., right? Because Kibi was a definite chiefdom before being made into a (temporary) province, I guess your idea of two pages would work best. Unless the page was just called "Kibi" and started with being a chiefdom and evolved to being a province. For now, I suppose your idea is best. [[User:Nagaeyari|Nagaeyari]] 06:34, 21 July 2007 (PDT)
