1986년에 출간된 최인호의 장편소설이다. 작품은 과거와 현재가 교차되는 추리형식의 역사소설이다. 작가는 백제 멸망 후 백제 유민(流民)의 일부가 일본으로 건너 가 고대 일본을 세웠다는 상상을 바탕으로 백제에서 일본으로 이어지는 역사의 흐름을 짚어보며, 우리 민족이 잃어버린 것이 무엇인지 질문을 던지고 있다.

Published in 1986, this novel by Choi In-ho is a fictional historical novel which traverses between the past and the present. It begins with the idea that the people of Baekje founded a new country, Japan, after the fall of Baekje to the Silla and Tang coalition forces. In this novel, the writer questions the meaning of history, nationalism, and ethnicity.
