Yasaka Shrine’s deities Part 16

How are you everyone? This is the defeated soldier. Let me continue with the story of Susanoo, who has been enshrined in Kyoto since ancient times. It is also the story of Amaterasu Omikami, the deity of Motoise-sama. Now let me tell you a story.

Here, Amaterasu Omikami, the God of the Sun, first bit down on Susanoo’s ten-gripped sword.

Susanoo also swore an oath to turn round and round so that he would never cease to do so, and Amaterasu Omikami-sama released the five hundred coils of the Misumaru ball that were around his left hairline. And then, the sound of the jade, (*I think, it is the brilliance of the jade?) was also rinsed (soot) and floated in the heavenly manna well with a yurayura. (*I believe that in the waters of the heavenly manna well, five hundred balls of unity were floating on the surface of the water.)

Susanoo bit down on the end of the ball, placed it in his left palm, and the child was Masaka Akatukachihayahi Ameno-Oshihone-no-Mikoto.

And, Susanoo bit the right ball and placed it in the palm of his right hand, and the child born was Amanohohinomikoto.

This deity was the ancestor of the Omin of Izumo (vassal of Izumo-taisha Shrine in Shimane Prefecture), the Miyatuko (national municipality of Musashi (now Tokyo and Saitama)), the Haze-no-Muaji (a family of earthenware makers who served in funeral rites and were masters of making earthenware), and others.

The next child born was Amatuhikone-no-mikoto, who was the ancestor of the Miyatukoso, Nukatabe no Muraji, and others in the Land of Ibaraki.

Next came Ikumetuhikonomikoto, then Hinohayahinomikoto, then Kumanoohokusununomikkoto. They were six male deities in all.

(Some say that Susanoo ascended to Takamagahara once before and then again to give birth to six male deities, while others say that he ascended to Takamagahara only once and swore an oath (ukei) only once.)

Nice to meet you, my name is Surviving Soldier. My star sign is Cancer and my blood type is O. My hobbies are visiting shrines and reading books. I have a loud voice, which is easy to understand at best, but at worst, I am noisy, so I would like to be careful. I am looking forward to working with you.
