In addition, the translation of the old documents is difficult because in the past, the term "Wa" was derogatory, meaning "midget" or "dwarf," which was a reference to the perceived smaller stature of the average Japanese in ancient times.
Hertil kommer, at oversættelsen af ​​de gamle dokumenter er vanskelig, fordi udtrykket "Wa" i fortiden var nedsættende, idet det betyder "dværg" eller "småvokset", som var en henvisning til den opfattede mindre statur af den gennemsnitlige japaner i oldtiden.
