      <h2>Introduction: The Perspective of Galactic Political Science</h2>
      <div class="cl"></div>
    </div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">From the perspective of &#8220;galactic political science&#8221; — a framework that transcends conventional geopolitical analysis — the hypothesis that the structure of the &#8220;Shadow Imperial House,&#8221; situated in the very depths of Japan&#8217;s national polity, is intimately connected to the power struggles of extraterrestrial intelligent beings (ETs), has emerged as a grand narrative illuminating the history of humanity and the origins of the soul, far beyond the realm of mere conspiracy theory. This report treats the three great divine lineages of Japanese mythology — the Tenson-kei (Celestial Grandson lineage), the Tenjin-kei (Heavenly Deity lineage), and the Chigi-kei (Earthly Deity lineage) — as reflections of ET forces representing &#8220;people from beyond,&#8221; identifying them as the three powers of Orion, Sirius, and the Pleiades, which form the contemporary structure of global dominion. It explores in depth the reincarnation processes of Starseeds and the psychological and spiritual backgrounds of &#8220;falling to the dark side.&#8221;</p>

      <h2>Ch.1 — The Three Lineages &amp; the Epistemology of Extraterrestrial Forces</h2>
      <div class="cl"></div>
    </div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">In both Japan&#8217;s official and esoteric histories, multiple forces have always existed behind the imperial lineage. According to the traditional clan classification, the Tenson-kei denotes the direct lineage of the Imperial House, the Tenjin-kei refers to the deities who descended following the Heavenly Deities, and the Chigi-kei indicates the gods who already dwelt upon the earth. However, when these are redefined as forces of extraterrestrial origin, a remarkable correspondence with global power structures becomes apparent.</p>

    <div class="ge-sub ge-reveal">The Historical and Cosmic Mapping of the Three Lineages</div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">Japan&#8217;s major clans are classified, based on mythological origin, as &#8220;Kobetsu&#8221; (imperial descent), &#8220;Shinbetsu&#8221; (divine descent), and &#8220;Shobanshu&#8221; (foreign descent). In this analysis, these are linked to cosmic origins. The Tenjin-kei numbers 246 clans including the Fujiwara and Nakatomi; the Tenson-kei encompasses 128 clans including the Owari, Izumo, and Hayato lineages; and the Chigi-kei includes 30 clans such as the Azumi and Yuge. The roles held by these clans and the characteristics of the ET forces leading them from behind are organised as follows.</p>

    <p class="ge-reveal">These forces maintain a state of &#8220;triple stalemate&#8221; (sansukumi) in which, despite their mutually incompatible natures, neither can completely eliminate the other. This equilibrium is the very substance of both civilisational stagnation and stability on Earth, and the three lineages of the Shadow Imperial House are thought to function as the terrestrial gateway for managing this balance of power.</p>

    <div class="ge-sub ge-reveal">The Ancient Clans as &#8220;People from Beyond&#8221;</div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">The assertion that &#8220;the Shadow Imperial House has three lineages, and all are peoples from different foreign origins&#8221; suggests that Japan&#8217;s national polity is not of single origin, but rather a microcosm of cosmic diversity. For example, the history of the Tenjin-kei&#8217;s Kamo-Agata-Nushi lineage allying with the Hata clan to build the foundations of Yamashiro Province (present-day Kyoto) is an exemplary illustration of how Sirian forces, possessing advanced technology and knowledge, infiltrated the spiritual heart of Japan. The association of the Chigi-kei with sea-deity clans such as the Azumi similarly symbolises the Orion system&#8217;s &#8220;capacity for physical movement&#8221; and &#8220;strong influence over the material realm.&#8221;</p>

      <h2>Ch.2 — The Dynamics of the Orion System: Will, Conflict, and Karma</h2>
      <div class="cl"></div>
    </div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">The Orion system is said to have the greatest number of Starseeds incarnated on Earth, and its influence is made manifest in the form of politics and military power. The history of Orion is one of ferocious conflict known as the &#8220;Galactic Wars&#8221; (Orion Wars), and the souls carry within them deep trauma and an intense will toward dominion.</p>

    <div class="ge-sub ge-reveal">The Duality of Betelgeuse and Rigel</div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">The energy of the Orion system is constituted by extreme dual energies — the light side of Betelgeuse and the dark side of Rigel. This structure became the archetype forming the concepts of &#8220;justice and evil&#8221; on Earth.</p>

    <div class="ge-trinity ge-reveal">

    </div>

    <div class="ge-sub ge-reveal">The Role of the Chigi-kei in the Political and Military Realm</div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">The Chigi-kei (Earthly Deities) were originally the forces that had already taken root upon the earth, and their connection to the material realm is extremely strong. Assigning them to the Orion system explains why the world&#8217;s politics and military affairs have never been able to break free from the chain of conflict and dominion. Orion energy specialises in the control of &#8220;things that have form&#8221; — land ownership, borders, and rule by law — and this overlaps with the role of physical territorial management that the Chigi-kei clans have carried throughout history.</p>

    <div class="ge-callout ge-reveal">
      <p>The greatest challenge for the Orion Starseed is &#8220;not using righteousness as a weapon.&#8221; The key to Ascension lies in recovering the sense that &#8220;I am safe even without fighting,&#8221; and sublimating the warrior&#8217;s pride into &#8220;guardian energy.&#8221;</p>

      <div class="cl"></div>
    </div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">The Sirian system is the force that has carried out the most complex interference with Earth. They possess both advanced intelligence and technology alongside a deep emotional domain, but the internal schism within them has had a profound influence on Earth&#8217;s structure of dominion.</p>

    <div class="ge-sub ge-reveal">The Divergence of Sirius A and B &amp; the Mechanism of Falling to the Dark Side</div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">The Sirian system is generally divided into &#8220;Type A (intelligence/balance)&#8221; and &#8220;Type B (emotion/water/healing),&#8221; but the element of crucial importance in this theory is the &#8220;falling to the dark side&#8221; of Sirian Type B.</p>

    <div class="ge-trinity ge-reveal">

        <span class="ge-card-name">Emotion · Water · Healing Type</span>
        <p>Possessing an extremely deep emotional density, with many souls carrying memories of aquatic beings (dolphins, merfolk). Originally an energy presiding over &#8220;healing.&#8221;</p>

        <span class="ge-stag">Sirius B — Shadow</span>
        <span class="ge-card-name">The Fallen Sirian B</span>
        <p>During the Orion Wars, the very depth of their emotion became their undoing — a faction that merged with (defected to) the dominant Orion energy. On Earth, they handle &#8220;manipulation through weaponised emotion&#8221; and &#8220;invisible financial domination.&#8221;</p>
      </div>
    </div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">Sirian B Starseeds retain their innate healing capacity while carrying within themselves a harsh darkness like that of an Orion warrior, and they frequently suffer from the extreme duality of self-sacrificial devotion and destructive emotional eruption.</p>

    <div class="ge-sub ge-reveal">The Tenjin-kei and the Network of Financial &amp; Technological Control</div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">Assigning the Tenjin-kei (Heavenly Deities) to the Sirian system explains the source of the advanced technology, civil engineering, and economic system-building capacity brought by immigrant clans such as the Hata. The Sirian system excels at creating &#8220;systems,&#8221; and in the modern age it controls the international financial system and digital information networks. Rather than using physical force (Orion), they control the world from behind by manipulating the definition of value and the flow of information.</p>

    <div class="ge-callout s ge-reveal">
      <p>The challenge for the Sirian B Starseed is to recognise the intensity of emotion as &#8220;power&#8221; and to integrate one&#8217;s own inner darkness. Before healing others, one is first required to forgive oneself for one&#8217;s own &#8220;memories of having fallen to the dark side.&#8221;</p>

      <h2>Ch.4 — The Paradox of the Pleiadian System: The Shadow of Light &amp; the Violence of Ideals</h2>
      <div class="cl"></div>
    </div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">The Pleiadian system is most frequently depicted favourably in spiritual discourse as &#8220;emissaries of love and light.&#8221; Yet it has been pointed out that this very purity of light, in the material realm of Earth, generates characteristic distortions — and can at times carry a destructive power that surpasses even &#8220;the dark.&#8221;</p>

    <div class="ge-sub ge-reveal">The Existence of the &#8220;Dark Pleiadians&#8221; and Renegades (Traitors)</div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">The &#8220;darkness&#8221; of the Pleiadians manifests in the form of &#8220;fastidious idealism&#8221; so extreme as to exclude others. The existence of &#8220;dark Pleiadians,&#8221; said to have extolled Aryan racial superiority and provided eugenic technical support for racial purification, represents the apex of their obsession with &#8220;beauty and perfection.&#8221; This is the shadow aspect specific to the Pleiadians — the impulse to exclude whatever does not conform to a certain standard of &#8220;light.&#8221;</p>

    <p class="ge-reveal">Pleiadian Renegades refers to a group that defied the intentions of the Galactic High Council and carried out unsanctioned interference with Earth. Operating under the pretext of accelerating humanity&#8217;s evolution, they projected their own karma onto Earth and, as a result, are said to have compounded the complex structures of dominion.</p>

    <p class="ge-reveal">At the individual level, Pleiadian Starseeds carry challenges such as &#8220;loving so intensely that they become dependent&#8221; and &#8220;driving themselves to extremes through perfectionism.&#8221; They tend to dislike confronting their shadow aspects directly, and by imposing the ideals of light they end up generating emotional suppression in those around them.</p>

    <div class="ge-sub ge-reveal">The Tenson-kei and Spiritual / Religious Dominion</div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">Assigning the Tenson-kei (direct Amaterasu lineage) to the Pleiadian system is consistent with the role of &#8220;spiritual and cultural centre&#8221; that the Japanese Imperial lineage has served. The Pleiadians preside over beauty, art, religious rapture, and harmony, and this represents a &#8220;unifying power&#8221; that binds the hearts of the populace as one — while simultaneously meaning domination through an &#8220;inviolable sacred norm.&#8221; The light of the Tenson-kei, while offering hope to people, also carries the historical aspect of defining those who fell outside that light (the Chigi-kei and the gods who refused to submit) as &#8220;darkness,&#8221; and suppressing them.</p>

    <div class="ge-callout p ge-reveal">
      <p>The challenge for the Pleiadian Starseed is to receive the raw, earthly emotions of human beings and the imperfection of the world as &#8220;part of the light.&#8221; Abandoning perfectionism and understanding that the true key to integration lies precisely within the shadow — this is what is required.</p>

    </div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">The theory that the world&#8217;s ruling class is divided into three major groups, each backed by the ET forces of Orion, Sirius, and the Pleiadians, becomes the key to elucidating all oppositional structures in contemporary society. These three forces are not simply in opposition — they prevent the collapse of the entire system by mutually keeping each other in check. This is called the &#8220;equilibrium of the triple stalemate.&#8221;</p>

    <p class="ge-reveal">If the Orion system (military) grows too powerful, the Sirian system (finance) cuts off funding, and the Pleiadian system (religion/ethics) mobilises public opinion to suppress it. Conversely, if the Pleiadian system displays religious radicalisation, the Orion system physically suppresses it. Because of this structure in which the three parties exploit each other&#8217;s weaknesses, the planet Earth has been designed to remain forever within this loop of dominion — never reaching &#8220;complete peace&#8221; nor &#8220;complete destruction.&#8221;</p>

    <p class="ge-reveal">Japan&#8217;s Shadow Imperial House has served the role of symbolising and managing, domestically, the equilibrium of these three forces. The fact that the clans of the three lineages, each conscious of being peoples from different foreign origins, have utilised their respective characteristics to maintain Japan&#8217;s national polity is a microcosm of the &#8220;triple stalemate&#8221; across the entire Earth. Preventing any single lineage from becoming dominant, and always maintaining the balance of all three, is said to have been the key to the peace of Japan — and the world (or rather, its stable dominion).</p>

      <div class="cl"></div>
    </div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">The Earth of today is approaching the moment when this &#8220;equilibrium of the triple stalemate,&#8221; which has persisted for tens of thousands of years, is beginning to break down. Ascension is not the replacement of one structure of dominion by another, but rather the process by which the &#8220;consciousness of separation&#8221; that has underpinned dominion itself is integrated.</p>

    <div class="ge-sub ge-reveal">The Emergence and Role of Hybrid Souls</div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">In recent years, &#8220;hybrid soul&#8221; Starseeds have been increasing — souls possessing the characteristics of multiple star systems simultaneously. They exhibit behavioural patterns that cannot be explained by the conventional map of forces: for example, &#8220;acting with Pleiadian love while possessing Orion will.&#8221; Hybrid soul people play the role of standing between the three forces, promoting dialogue, and neutralising the old triple stalemate structure from within. When an individual recognises within themselves the &#8220;will to dominate (Orion),&#8221; &#8220;will to manipulate (Sirius),&#8221; and &#8220;self-righteous ideals (Pleiades),&#8221; and integrates all of them, the external structure of dominion also loses its power.</p>

    <div class="ge-sub ge-reveal">Future Prospects: Breaking Free from the Eternal Loop</div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">The reason the structure of the triple stalemate has been maintained is that humanity has needed the dualistic opposition of &#8220;enemy or ally.&#8221; However, when Starseeds dissolve the karma of their respective star systems and the three lineages of Japanese mythology reclaim their original &#8220;harmonious cooperative relationship,&#8221; the Earth will transition to a new stage. That will be an era of human self-reliance, requiring no more intervention by specific ET forces.</p>

      <h2>Conclusion: The Meaning of Knowing One&#8217;s Own Soul Lineage</h2>
      <div class="cl"></div>
    </div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">The perspective of &#8220;Shadow Imperial House Three Lineages = ET Forces&#8221; presented in this report indicates that the social problems and personal sufferings we face are, in truth, reflections on a cosmic scale of history. The Orion warrior — to transform power into love. The Sirian sage — to transform manipulation into service. The Pleiadian emissary — to transform ideals into inclusivity.</p>

    <div class="ge-callout w ge-reveal">
      <p>The sensations we feel within ourselves — &#8220;a darkness that feels Orion-like, even though I am Type B&#8221; or &#8220;a black shadow, even though I am Pleiadian&#8221; — are by no means abnormal. They are the evidence of the soul&#8217;s challenge: attempting to integrate, here in this place called Earth, the conflicts that once occurred across the galaxy.</p>
    </div>

    <p class="ge-reveal">When the equilibrium of the triple stalemate crumbles and new harmony is born, the true message concealed within Japanese mythology — a world in which the eight million deities gather together and laugh — will be realised. Whichever force you feel you belong to, understanding those characteristics and going through the process of transforming shadow into light is the most powerful guide for surviving this turbulent age we call today. The Ascension of the Earth begins from within each and every one of us.</p>

<p>This era, at first glance, might seem like the zenith of civilization. However, beneath the surface, there&#8217;s an intense tension as if the world is on the brink of collapse, burdened by environmental destruction, ethical decay, economic runaway, information manipulation, artificial earthquakes, chemtrails, and a series of soul trials through pandemics. It is precisely in such turbulent times that the existence of <strong>Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto</strong> (国常立尊) becomes noteworthy. The divine truth of the spiritual realm articulated by Onisaburo Deguchi, and his prophecies of Earth&#8217;s &#8220;Reconstruction and Restoration&#8221; (Tatekae Tate-naoshi), can be said to be divine revelations that must be deciphered right now.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc1">Who Was Onisaburo Deguchi?</span></h3>



<p><strong>Onisaburo Deguchi</strong> (1871–1948) was the co-founder of Omoto-kyo, known as a spiritual prophet and religious reformer. He was not merely a religious figure but displayed versatile talents in prophecy, art, politics, and thought, earning him the title &#8220;Nostradamus of Japan.&#8221; His prophecies are linked to the concept of &#8220;<strong>Tatekae Tate-naoshi</strong>,&#8221; which involves major natural disasters, wars, and apocalyptic global changes in Japan.</p>

  </div>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc2">Who is Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto?</span></h2>



<p><strong>Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto</strong> is a deity whose name appears in both the <em>Kojiki</em> and <em>Nihon Shoki</em>, revered as one of the first gods to emerge during the creation of heaven and earth. As his name suggests (&#8220;Kuniyo-tokotachi&#8221; meaning &#8220;eternally establishing the land&#8221;), he is a very ancient and fundamental divine spirit who presides over the very framework of the Earth itself.</p>



<p>However, Onisaburo Deguchi of Omoto-kyo revealed even deeper spiritual truths about this deity. According to him, Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto is not merely a mythological figure but the &#8220;<strong>God of Earth&#8217;s Genesis</strong>,&#8221; who, along with dragon deities, &#8220;repaired and solidified&#8221; the primordial Earth, which was like a muddy sea. He was also a <strong>Dragon Race</strong> deity.</p>



<p><a href="https://butterflyandtea.com/en/draconian/" target="_blank">What is the Dragon Race?</a> (This link from the original text directs to a blog post about the Dragon Race.) &#8220;All Japanese are of the Dragon Race&#8221;—I&#8217;ve seen this phrase. More people are embracing this expression on YouTube, and it seems like a proud and somewhat hopeful phrase. However, shouldn&#8217;t we take a calm look at it for a moment? Because for different people&#8230;</p>



<p>It is said that the continents and mountain ranges of the Earth were shaped by the traces of the dragon deity followers who swam across them. Large dragons formed major mountain ranges, and smaller dragons formed minor ones, and through their activity, &#8220;land and sea&#8221; were separated.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc3">The Being Sealed as &#8220;Ushitora no Konjin&#8221;</span></h2>



<p>However, Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto, being excessively strict and valuing discipline, gradually faced opposition from other deities for being &#8220;too severe.&#8221; Eventually, he was destined to be <strong>sealed in the &#8220;Ushitora&#8221; (艮)</strong>—the northeast direction, or the Japanese archipelago itself. This sealing led him to be feared by the alternate name of &#8220;<strong>Ushitora no Konjin</strong> (艮の金神),&#8221; revered as a &#8220;cursing god&#8221; or &#8220;araha-gami&#8221; (fierce god). Especially in the modern state system after the Meiji era, his very existence was intentionally sealed and ceased to be spoken of.</p>



<p>But Onisaburo Deguchi stated: <strong>&#8220;Only the God who created this world can reconstruct it.&#8221;</strong></p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc4">Onisaburo Deguchi&#8217;s Spiritual Prophecies: &#8220;Reconstruction and Restoration&#8221;</span></h2>



<p>Onisaburo Deguchi&#8217;s prophecies are diverse, but among the most famous is his apocalyptic prophecy known as the &#8220;Siberian Fox Prophecy.&#8221; This vision describes global chaos and collapse, invasion from the north, the dropping of atomic bombs, the fall of America, comet collisions, and pole shifts—truly a &#8220;modern apocalypse.&#8221;</p>



<p>And at the final stage, it is foretold that the &#8220;<strong>Iwato-biraki</strong> (opening of the heavenly rock cave) will occur, and Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto will manifest.&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8220;The time for Kuninotokotachi-no-Okami&#8217;s Iwato-biraki has come. With a hand on solid rock, shaking it down to the path of hell.&#8221;</p>



<p>This &#8220;Iwato-biraki&#8221; is not just a mythological ritual. It signifies that &#8220;<strong>hidden truths will be exposed, and humanity&#8217;s false civilization will come to an end.</strong>&#8221; The sealed Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto will revive, cleanse the world of evil, and a new divine rule and the appearance of the true sun god are foretold.</p>



<p>And in the subsequent era of &#8220;Reconstruction,&#8221; a being possessing the spirit of Christ will appear, and a new Earth civilization of love and harmony will be built.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc5">The Relationship Between Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto and Susanoo-no-Mikoto</span></h2>



<p><a href="https://butterflyandtea.com/en/the-truth-about-ancient-myths/" target="_blank">The Truth and Story of Ancient Mythology: Susanoo-no-Mikoto, a Foreign God &#8212; The History of Conflict Between Izumo and the Tenson Clan</a> (This link from the original text directs to a blog post about Susanoo-no-Mikoto.)</p>



<p>It is interesting that Onisaburo Deguchi identified <strong>Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto with Susanoo-no-Mikoto</strong> (スサノオノミコト). (While there are various theories, some Shinto spiritualists and channelers also advocate a reincarnation theory, stating that &#8220;Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto later appeared as Susanoo-no-Mikoto.&#8221;)</p>



<p>Susanoo-no-Mikoto is generally known as the &#8220;God of the Sea, Storms, and Destruction,&#8221; but his destruction is a &#8220;purification for restoring order&#8221; and a &#8220;destruction for new creation.&#8221; In other words, he embodies the very &#8220;divine will&#8221; to reset the world once and rebuild a new order.</p>



<p>Furthermore, Susanoo-no-Mikoto had eight children (Yatsuko), and in texts like <em>Hotsuma Tsutae</em>, they are said to have scattered to various parts of the world, becoming the &#8220;<strong>Goshiki-jin</strong> (Five-Colored People)&#8221; and establishing human civilizations. This suggests a connection with global creation myths.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc6">The Jomon Period and Hotsuma Tsutae</span></h2>



<p><a href="https://butterflyandtea.com/en/earth/" target="_blank">The Roots of the Japanese Soul and Ancient Memories</a> (This link from the original text directs to a blog post about the roots of the Japanese soul.) &#8220;History I Want You to Know Series!!!&#8221; Behind our identity as &#8220;Japanese&#8221; lies an ancient history of souls that far transcends imagination. This time, I&#8217;d like to introduce a story that goes back to the very formation of this Earth and the universe. All life began from a divine分御霊 (wakemitama, divided spirit)&#8230;</p>



<p>The Jomon period is generally believed to have been a time of hunter-gatherer life, but the image of Jomon people from a document called <strong>&#8220;Hotsuma Tsutae&#8221;</strong> is completely different. There, Jomon people are depicted as descendants of Mu or Lemuria, a people with highly developed spirituality and a consciousness of coexistence with nature. They had no concept of ownership, considering everything a divine entrustment, and built a civilization of love and harmony without conflict.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Amakami and Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto:</strong> The &#8220;Amakami&#8221; (天神, Heavenly Gods) appearing in <em>Hotsuma Tsutae</em> are earthly leaders prior to the Emperors, i.e., incarnations of gods. Among them, a crucial figure is <strong>Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto</strong>. He is said to have solidified the Earth&#8217;s muddy sea along with dragon deities, at the command of Amenominakanushi-no-Kami, separating land and sea. The mountain ranges and topography are considered the traces of the dragon deities&#8217; passage, truly befitting the title of &#8220;God of Earth&#8217;s Genesis.&#8221;</li>



<li><strong>The Eight Princes:</strong> Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto is said to have had eight children: E, Hi, Ta, Me, To, Ho, Ka, Mi. They are also considered the <strong>Goshiki-jin</strong> and are said to have traveled to various parts of the world to build civilizations. (Susanoo-no-Mikoto also has eight children.)
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Me-no-Mikoto:</strong> Iraq (Sumerian civilization)</li>



<li><strong>Hi-no-Mikoto:</strong> North America (Native Americans)</li>



<li><strong>Ho-no-Mikoto:</strong> India (mythological gods)</li>



<li><strong>Mi-no-Mikoto:</strong> Korea</li>



<li><strong>Other princes</strong> also traveled to China, etc. This tradition of the eight princes is also said to be the origin of the place name Hachioji in Tokyo.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>



<p>Onisaburo Deguchi also emphasized the concept of the &#8220;Goshiki-jin,&#8221; leading to the philosophy of &#8220;<strong>world unification</strong>&#8221; (all humanity are siblings) and &#8220;<strong>Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto as the ancestor of all humanity</strong>,&#8221; from the perspective that people all over the world are descendants of the Five-Colored People.</p>



<p><a href="https://butterflyandtea.com/en/varna/#toc4" target="_blank">Ancient Truth: Japanese Mythology and the Dragon Race</a> (This link from the original text directs to a blog post about Japanese mythology and the Dragon Race.) Hello. This time, I&#8217;d like to talk a little about &#8220;the truth hidden behind Japanese mythology.&#8221; The myths depicted in the &#8220;Kojiki&#8221; and &#8220;Nihon Shoki&#8221; might have another aspect, different from the surface history we learned in school. The birth of the Japanese archipelago and Izanagi&#8230;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Rule by To-no-Mikoto and the Beginning of the Marriage System:</strong> To-no-Mikoto succeeded as the second generation, and even the third generation, Toyokunnunu-no-Mikoto, ruled the Earth for approximately 10,000 years. From the fourth generation onwards, governance by male-female pairs began for the first time, establishing the institution of &#8220;marriage (Totsugi).&#8221; It is also said that beings were previously hermaphroditic.</li>
</ul>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc7">&#x1f51a; Conclusion</span></h2>



<p>The future conveyed by Onisaburo Deguchi&#8217;s prophecies is not merely an apocalyptic vision of terror, but a hopeful vision that promotes humanity&#8217;s spiritual evolution.</p>



<p><strong>&#8220;Destruction is a prerequisite for creation. The true dawn arrives after the deepest darkness.&#8221;</strong></p>



<p>What we can do now is purify our inner hearts and restore harmony with nature and the cosmos. That, perhaps, is the &#8220;<strong>Iwato-biraki of the heart</strong>&#8221; for welcoming the reappearance of Kuninotokotachi-no-Mikoto.</p>



<p>.</p>



<p>.</p>



<p>.</p>



<p>.<br>This is the background of that period, known as the “Jomon Period,” established by Kunitokotachi-no-mikoto.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc1">From the Cosmos? Kūkai the Traveler, and the Transcendent Will Within Fudō Myōō</span></h2>



<p>Kūkai was an exceptionally great seeker who lived in the early Heian period and brought Shingon Esoteric Buddhism to Japan. But was he truly just a human being? Tracing his life, thought, profound ascetic practices, and numerous miracles, we eventually arrive at an intuition: <strong>&#8220;Kūkai might not be a being from this Earth.&#8221;</strong></p>



<p>This feeling quietly resonates through time among many spiritual seekers. Was Kūkai a soul who came from the cosmos—a high-dimensional being reincarnated on Earth? Perhaps his teachings, transcending language and era, resonate so deeply with our hearts today because his soul carried the memories of a distant universe.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc2">Esoteric Buddhism as a Code: A Key to Deciphering This World</span></h3>



<p>The Esoteric Buddhism that Kūkai transmitted, particularly <strong>&#8220;mantras&#8221; (真言)</strong>, is akin to a &#8220;cosmic language&#8221; designed to convey the structure of a world unreachable by human reason, through intuition and vibration. His teaching of <strong>&#8220;Sokushin Jōbutsu&#8221; (即身成仏)</strong> is not about waiting for salvation after death, but about attaining enlightenment in this very body.</p>



<p>This was revolutionary in Buddhism, and at the same time, it was a technique akin to &#8220;<strong>tuning into an interdimensional being while still in the human vessel</strong>.&#8221; Kūkai brought down to Earth the path to connect the infinite energy that fills the cosmos with human consciousness, as Shingon Esoteric Buddhism.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc3">Kūkai&#8217;s Life: Intelligence and Intuition Beyond Human Comprehension</span></h2>



<p>Kūkai (774–835) traveled to Tang China (then the height of Chinese culture) at the mere age of 31, learned the most advanced Esoteric Buddhism, and brought it back to Japan. While an academic monk, he displayed genius in many fields, including poetry, calligraphy, civil engineering, linguistics, and invention.</p>



<p>Of particular note are the following points:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Prodigious Intellect:</strong> From a young age, he was well-versed not only in Buddhism but also in Confucianism, Taoism, astronomy, and music. He mastered all of Tang Esoteric Buddhism during a short stay (which usually takes over 20 years).</li>



<li><strong>Mystical Experience:</strong> While practicing asceticism in a cave at Cape Muroto, he recounts an experience where a &#8220;<strong>morning star (Venus)</strong>&#8221; flew into his mouth, becoming one with Dainichi Nyorai. After returning to Japan, he is said to have mastered the &#8220;Kokūzō Gumonji-hō&#8221; and gained superhuman memory and intuition.</li>
</ul>



<p>This can be interpreted not merely as religious symbolism but as an &#8220;<strong>experience of communication with cosmic consciousness</strong>.&#8221; Similar reports exist from modern channelers and contactees (those who have communicated with cosmic beings).</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc4">Summary of Kūkai&#8217;s Life and Content</span></h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Birth and Origin (774 CE):</strong> Born in Kagawa Prefecture. A figure born from the fusion of different cultures: his father from the Saeki clan (Jomon lineage), his mother from the Ato clan (immigrant lineage).</li>



<li><strong>Youthful Studies and Struggles:</strong> Although destined for an elite course in central administration due to his brilliance, he dropped out of university due to a mismatch with his own inquisitive mind (&#8220;What is humanity?&#8221;). He was drawn to Buddhist scriptures but questioned the formalistic understanding of the time.</li>



<li><strong>Mountain Asceticism and Encounter with Akasagarbha Bodhisattva:</strong> While living like a beggar in paper robes, he practiced the Kokūzō Gumonji-hō for 100 days at Cape Muroto. Through meditating on the morning star (Akasagarbha Bodhisattva), he had a mystical experience and achieved enlightenment.</li>



<li><strong>Journey to Tang as a Kentōshi (804 CE):</strong> From being a mere private monk, he became a formal one, mastering the profound teachings of Esoteric Buddhism in just three years. He inherited the orthodox lineage of Esoteric Buddhism from Master Huiguo (Keika Ajari) and received the title &#8220;Henjō Kongō.&#8221;</li>



<li><strong>Return to Japan and the Doctrine of Sokushin Jōbutsu:</strong> He preached the teaching that one can attain enlightenment in this life (Sokushin Jōbutsu). With the revolutionary idea that &#8220;anyone can become a Buddha through practice,&#8221; he paved the way for Japanese Esoteric Buddhism.</li>



<li><strong>Conflict with Saichō and Aftermath:</strong> The breakdown of his close relationship with Saichō. Saichō developed Mount Hiei as an educational institution, later producing many famous monks (Ennin, Enchin, Hōnen, Shinran, etc.).</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc5">Particularly Fascinating Points</span></h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>The Blank Seven Years:</strong> The &#8220;period with almost no records&#8221; between Kūkai&#8217;s mastery of the secret teachings of Akasagarbha Bodhisattva and his journey to Tang is depicted as a time of asceticism and exploration, combining mysticism with realism.</li>



<li><strong>Description of the Morning Star Experience:</strong> The depiction of the morning star entering his mouth in the cave is impressive both as a mystical experience and a religious turning point.</li>



<li><strong>Balance of Study and Practice:</strong> The flow from questioning Confucianism at university → questioning Buddhist formalism → mountain asceticism → enlightenment as a real experience is very natural.</li>
</ul>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc6">Kūkai and Tokushima: Why it&#8217;s Called a Sacred Place</span></h2>



<ol start="1" class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Ryozen-ji Temple, the Starting Point of the Shikoku Pilgrimage:</strong> Ryozen-ji Temple, the first temple of the Shikoku Pilgrimage located in Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture, is considered the starting point of this spiritual journey. It is said to have been founded by Kūkai.</li>



<li><strong>Tokushima as a &#8220;Dojo for Practice&#8221;:</strong> The Shikoku Pilgrimage is divided by region as follows:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Tokushima Prefecture (Temples 1-23): <strong>Dojo of Practice</strong></li>



<li>Kochi Prefecture: Dojo of Bodhi (Enlightenment)</li>



<li>Ehime Prefecture: Dojo of Nirvana</li>



<li>Kagawa Prefecture: Dojo of Attainment Within this, Tokushima is designated as the &#8220;Dojo of Practice&#8221; and is believed to be where Kūkai first deeply engaged in ascetic training.</li>
</ul>
</li>



<li><strong>Mount Tsurugi and Kūkai&#8217;s Legends:</strong> Mount Tsurugi (剣山) in western Tokushima Prefecture has long been considered a sacred mountain. There are legends that Kūkai trained here and that one of the Imperial Regalia of Japan, the <strong>Kusanagi Sword</strong>, lies dormant within Mount Tsurugi, having been sealed underground by Kūkai. Furthermore, theories of &#8220;Mount Tsurugi = Sumerian origin&#8221; and &#8220;Moses and the Jewish people came here&#8221; are also topics in the spiritual community.</li>



<li><strong>&#8220;Awa Province&#8221; Said to Be Protected by Kūkai:</strong> Kūkai trained in his youth in &#8220;Awa Province&#8221; (present-day Tokushima). It is a land of mountain worship and dragon deity worship, and there are traditions that Kūkai protected this land as a &#8220;spiritual barrier.&#8221; Numerous place names and legends, such as Kōbō-sui (Kōbō&#8217;s Water) and Kōbō-ido (Kōbō&#8217;s Well), are attributed to Kūkai.</li>
</ol>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc7">The Sacred Aspect of Tokushima: Connection to Dragon Deities and Jomon</span></h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Strong Dragon Deity Beliefs:</strong> Tokushima, with rivers like the Yoshino River and Naka River, is deeply connected to water deities, i.e., dragon deities. Legends connecting Kūkai and dragon deities exist in places like Kamiyama Town and Iwato Shrine in Mima City. There are also many Jomon period archaeological sites, indicating it was a land of &#8220;prayer&#8221; from ancient times.</li>
</ul>



<p>Tokushima is seen as &#8220;<strong>Kūkai&#8217;s Opened Gate of Practice</strong>.&#8221; For Kūkai, Tokushima was the &#8220;land of beginning,&#8221; where he protected dragon deities and Mount Tsurugi, transforming Tokushima into a &#8220;spiritual entrance&#8221; as a sacred site. There&#8217;s a view that Kūkai&#8217;s intention was to guide people&#8217;s spiritual growth, starting from Tokushima and progressing through the pilgrimage.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc8">Fudō Myōō: The Cosmic Guardian Manifested Within Kūkai</span></h2>



<p>Particularly symbolic is Kūkai&#8217;s relationship with <strong>Fudō Myōō</strong> (不動明王). Fudō Myōō, with his fearsome countenance and flames on his back, is considered a protective deity who severs human delusions. This is not just a Buddhist symbol but the embodiment of a &#8220;<strong>transcendent being</strong>&#8221; deeply imprinted on Kūkai&#8217;s psyche.</p>



<p>Records show that in his later years, during Shingon rituals, Kūkai frequently invoked Fudō Myōō before his eyes and conversed with him. From a spiritual perspective, it&#8217;s possible to consider Fudō Myōō a &#8220;<strong>higher being</strong>&#8221; who resonated with Kūkai&#8217;s soul even before his descent to Earth. Fudō Myōō may have been Kūkai&#8217;s spiritual guide and the guardian of the &#8220;program&#8221; to fulfill his cosmic mission.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc9">What is Fudō Myōō?</span></h3>



<p>Fudō Myōō is the central figure among the Five Great Myōō in Esoteric Buddhism and is considered an &#8220;<strong>emanation of Dainichi Nyorai</strong>.&#8221; He is depicted with an angry expression, burning away delusions to save sentient beings.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Right hand:</strong> Sword (cuts through delusions)</li>



<li><strong>Left hand:</strong> Kenjaku (snare: catches and saves confused beings)</li>



<li><strong>Behind him:</strong> Flames (symbol of purification)</li>



<li><strong>Fudō Myōō&#8217;s Indian Origin:</strong> The prototype of Fudō Myōō is the Indian guardian deity &#8220;<strong>Acalanātha</strong>.&#8221; This was translated as &#8220;Fudō Myōō&#8221; in China and transmitted to Japan along with Tang Esoteric Buddhism.</li>



<li><strong>Kūkai Brought it to Japan:</strong> Kūkai traveled to Tang as a Kentōshi in 804 and learned all of Esoteric Buddhism from its supreme master, Huiguo (Keika Ajari). This, of course, included Fudō Myōō worship. After returning to Japan, Kūkai systematically transmitted and spread Fudō Myōō&#8217;s doctrines, mantras, rituals, and iconography. In essence, he is the <strong>founder of Fudō Myōō worship in Japan.</strong></li>
</ul>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc10">Dragon Deities, Mandalas, and Star Memories</span></h2>



<p>Kūkai&#8217;s constructed mandala world—especially the <strong>&#8220;Womb Realm&#8221; and &#8220;Diamond Realm&#8221; mandalas</strong>—can be seen as visual representations of the cosmic structure. It was as if he mapped out a visible universe on Earth.</p>



<p>He also integrated <strong>dragon deity worship</strong> into Mount Kōya, superimposing the energy of the natural world with cosmic rhythms. Dragon deities are guardians of water veins and ley lines, and since ancient times, they have also been said to be the guardians of &#8220;star pathways.&#8221; Kūkai&#8217;s connection with dragon deities is also proof that his soul stood at the &#8220;intersection of heaven and earth.&#8221;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc11">Kūkai&#8217;s Involvement with Dragon Deities</span></h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Ryūjin Onsen:</strong> A hot spring said to have been opened by Kūkai after receiving a divine message from Nanda Dragon King, which is also the origin of the name Ryūjin Onsen.</li>



<li><strong>Mandala Waterfall:</strong> There is a legend that when Kūkai was secluding himself to decipher the truths of the universe, Nanda Dragon King appeared and told him to &#8220;spread this land to the world.&#8221;</li>



<li><strong>Murō-ji Temple:</strong> Located on Mount Murō, a place rich in dragon deity worship related to rain and water, and known as a training ground for Shingon Esoteric Buddhism.</li>
</ul>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc12">Was His &#8220;Descent&#8221; a High-Dimensional Plan?</span></h2>



<p>The confusion, anxiety, and loneliness of modern society resonate with the era Kūkai lived in. Perhaps our renewed attraction to Kūkai is to remember the wisdom of &#8220;reconnecting with our inner cosmos, rather than changing the outer world.&#8221;</p>



<p>Kūkai said: &#8220;<strong>The mind connects to the void, and the void dwells in the mind.</strong>&#8221; This is his core spiritual realization that the universe and humans are not separate. In other words, we too are &#8220;travelers&#8221; living on Earth, carrying high-dimensional memories within us, just like Kūkai.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc13">Finally—A Call from Kūkai</span></h2>



<p>If you are drawn to the name Kūkai, it&#8217;s no coincidence. Perhaps a promise made long ago among the stars is etched within you. Like the flames of Fudō Myōō, it&#8217;s a quiet yet intense inner impulse. Walk your path without losing sight of its meaning. Truly, Buddhas never tell people to practice the Dharma. Learning is a personal journey for the growth of the soul. Kūkai preached this.</p>



<p>Kūkai is believed to have not allowed his body to decay after death, continuing his meditation in Okunoin. His appearance truly resembles a &#8220;mummified Buddha&#8221; or &#8220;light body transference,&#8221; close to the characteristics of cosmic beings. Perhaps he is still praying in a place unseen by people, waiting for the day when this star will once again experience a cosmic awakening.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc14">Differences Between Buddha and Kūkai</span></h2>



<p><strong>Buddha</strong> (Gautama Buddha) was the founder of Buddhism, who preached universal teachings.</p>



<p class="is-style-memo-box has-box-style">On the other hand, <strong>Kūkai</strong>, building upon Buddha&#8217;s teachings, introduced Esoteric Buddhism to Japan and established his own unique Buddhist philosophy. Both are important figures in Buddhism, but their teachings and positions differ.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc1">What is the &#8220;Tenson Clan&#8221;?</span></h2>



<p>In mythology, &#8220;Tenson Kōrin&#8221; refers to the story of Amaterasu Omikami&#8217;s grandchild, <strong>Ninigi-no-Mikoto</strong>, descending from Heaven to Earth to rule Japan. This lineage is said to connect to Emperor Jimmu and eventually to the current Imperial Family.</p>



<p>This &#8220;<strong>Tenson Clan</strong>&#8221; was a ruling class that came from Takamagahara (the High Plain of Heaven), entrusted with the &#8220;mandate of Heaven&#8221; (Ama-no-Mikoto). They had the great mission of pacifying the earthly realm by divine command.</p>



<p>Though Amaterasu Omikami and Susanoo-no-Mikoto are Tenson clan deities, in <em>Kiki Shinwa</em> (the collective myths of the <em>Kojiki</em> and <em>Nihon Shoki</em>), Susanoo-no-Mikoto was the first to arrive in Izumo. The Hata clan were also immigrants, but Susanoo-no-Mikoto came to Japan even before them (before the common era). This &#8220;Ninigi&#8221; is thought to be from the Hebrew &#8220;Na-Nagi,&#8221; meaning &#8220;Beautiful Prince.&#8221;</p>



<p>&#8220;Takamagahara&#8221; is <em>Takama-no-Hara</em> in Japanese. It refers to Haran in the state of Tagama, the place where Jacob resided. &#8220;Ashihara-no-Nakatsukuni&#8221; (Reed Plain of Middle Land) has &#8220;Ashi&#8221; (reed) and &#8220;Hara&#8221; (plain) which are Hebrew words: <em>Kanu-Nah</em>, Canaan. &#8220;Takachiho&#8221; (高千穂) becomes <em>Taka-Tzion</em>, Mount Zion. Mount Zion is what is now Jerusalem.</p>



<p>In other words, the &#8220;Tenson Kōrin&#8221; myth is the story of the Beautiful Prince coming from Haran, where Jacob was, to the land of Canaan. (Note: This is just one theory.)</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc2">On the Other Hand, What is the &#8220;Izumo Clan&#8221;?</span></h2>



<p>The <strong>Izumo clan</strong> is a power centered around <strong>Ōkuninushi-no-Kami</strong> (大国主命). They are gods who govern the fertility of the land and are said to be the indigenous deities who had long been rooted in the Japanese archipelago.</p>



<p>In myth, before the Tenson clan&#8217;s descent to Earth, Amaterasu Omikami commanded Ōkuninushi to <strong>&#8220;transfer the land&#8221; (Kuniyuzuri)</strong>. This is not merely a myth but is also said to symbolize an actual change in political power—a shift in the power structure. In myth, Ōkuninushi is said to have &#8220;ceded the land&#8221; to Ninigi. However, in reality, the land was not ceded but was taken by Ninigi.</p>

<p>Ōkuninushi&#8217;s army and Ninigi&#8217;s army fought, but Ōkuninushi&#8217;s army was easily defeated by Ninigi&#8217;s overwhelming forces. Ōkuninushi&#8217;s son is <strong>Kamo Taketsunumi</strong> (賀茂建角身), whose real name is <strong>Ajisukitakahikone</strong> (味耜高彦根). He is the enshrined deity of Kamo Shrine in Kyoto, and in fact, this Ajisukitakahikone is <strong>Yatagarasu</strong> (八咫烏). Ninigi-no-Mikoto, who ruled Ashihara-no-Nakatsukuni, even changed the existing gods.</p>



<p><a href="https://butterflyandtea.com/en/yatagarasu-yin-yang-do/" target="_blank">What is Yatagarasu Onmyodo?</a> (This link from the original text directs to a blog post about Yatagarasu.) ~Japan&#8217;s Shadow Power from Ancient Times~ Many people might associate &#8220;Yatagarasu&#8221; with the symbol of the Japan national football team. However, the true &#8220;Yatagarasu&#8221; is a mystical entity that has governed Japan&#8217;s hidden history from ancient times to the present day. What is the true identity of Yatagarasu?</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc3">Who is Ninigi-no-Mikoto?</span></h2>



<p>Ninigi is a deity who descended from Takamagahara to Earth (present-day Miyazaki&#8217;s Takachiho) by Amaterasu Omikami&#8217;s command, and is considered the main character of &#8220;Tenson Kōrin.&#8221; He carried the <strong>Three Sacred Treasures</strong> (mirror, sword, jewel) and established the foundation for earthly rule as a legitimate king who received the &#8220;mandate of Heaven.&#8221;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc4">Mythological Lineage</span></h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Grandmother (not really, lol): Amaterasu Omikami</li>



<li>Mother: Takuhata Chichihime-no-Mikoto</li>



<li>Wife: Konohanasakuyahime</li>



<li>Great-grandchild: Kamu-Yamato-Iwarehiko-no-Mikoto (First Emperor Jimmu)</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc5">Earthly Achievements</span></h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Marriage with local influential clans (fusion of Tenson and Chigi &#8211; earthly deities).</li>



<li>Spread of agricultural and ritual culture.</li>



<li>Became the starting point of the Imperial Family&#8217;s lineage.</li>
</ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc6">Ninigi is, so to speak, the &#8220;father of Japan&#8217;s founding myth.&#8221;</span></h3>



<p>Konohanasakuyahime was Ninigi&#8217;s wife (he fell in love at first sight and proposed marriage). It is said that Konohanasakuyahime became pregnant on their wedding night, but Ninigi-no-Mikoto doubted if the child was his. To prove her purity, Konohanasakuyahime made a vow (<em>ukei</em>) that if the child was Ninigi-no-Mikoto&#8217;s, she could give birth safely in a burning birthing hut. She then set fire to the hut and safely gave birth to three children in the flames. This story exists. Whether it&#8217;s factual or not is uncertain, but it seems there were certainly issues with his character from the start.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc7">&#8220;Another Tenson&#8221; Who Appeared Before Emperor Jimmu</span></h2>



<p>Emperor Jimmu (Iwarebiko), considered the first emperor, is said to have been a descendant of Ninigi, who launched an eastern expedition from Kyushu and established a capital in Yamato (present-day Nara Prefecture).</p>



<p>However, before him, there was already a deity who had descended from heaven and ruled the Kinki region. That was <strong>Nigihayahi</strong>. This means that Tenson Kōrin happened not just once, but at least twice.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc8">The Mystery and True Role of Nigihayahi-no-Mikoto</span></h3>



<p>Now, enters the enigmatic deity, <strong>Nigihayahi-no-Mikoto</strong> (饒速日命). He is stated in the <em>Kojiki</em> and <em>Sendai Kuji Hongi</em> to be a Tenson who descended to Earth before Amaterasu Omikami.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc9">Why was Nigihayahi erased?</span></h4>



<p>Nigihayahi is said to have been dispatched from heaven, descended to Kawachi (present-day Osaka/Nara area), and became the ancestor of the local influential clan, the Mononobe. However, curiously, his achievements are rarely spoken of, and he seems to have been relegated behind &#8220;Ninigi-no-Mikoto.&#8221;</p>



<p>One theory suggests that <strong>Nigihayahi was the original legitimate Tenson.</strong> That is, Nigihayahi, not Ninigi, was the true successor to Amaterasu Omikami&#8217;s will. Nigihayahi is said to have descended to Earth on the Heavenly Rock Boat (Ama-no-Iwafune) by the command of Amaterasu Omikami or Takamimusubi-no-Kami, and established power in the Kawachi region. He married the sister of Nagasunehiko (長髄彦), a local powerful figure, and was welcomed into their clan. At this point, some view this as already achieving an alliance between the Tenson clan and the Chigi (earthly deities).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc10">Tenson Clan vs. Izumo Clan: After the Conflict</span></h2>



<p>In mythology, the Tenson clan, commanded by Amaterasu Omikami, demanded the &#8220;transfer of the land&#8221; from the Izumo clan, and Ōkuninushi-no-Mikoto complied. However, some scholars believe that actual military clashes and negotiations occurred behind this narrative. Furthermore, it is suggested that Nigihayahi, as a member of the Tenson clan, was already on Earth and had relations with earthly forces (Izumo lineage).</p>



<p>In reality, this was likely not a mere transfer but a complex transfer of power involving battles and strategic marriages. Ninigi and Nigihayahi were involved in this earthly rule in different ways. From this, it can be said that Nigihayahi was a &#8220;connector between Heaven and Earth,&#8221; or a bridge between the Tenson clan and the Izumo clan.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc11">The Sealed Bloodline and the Disappearance of the Mononobe Clan</span></h2>



<p>The descendants of Nigihayahi are said to be the <strong>Mononobe clan</strong> (物部氏), who were once powerful clans within the Yamato court. They played a central role in the Yamato administration, particularly excelling in military affairs, rituals, and sorcery. They were an important lineage serving the emperor, responsible for military and divine matters. However, during the Asuka period, they were defeated in a conflict with the Soga clan and disappeared from the public stage.</p>



<p><a href="https://butterflyandtea.com/en/prince-shotoku-taishi/#toc4" target="_blank">Prince Shotoku, the Ura-Tenno (Hidden Emperor), the Bloodline of Jesus, and the Future of the Coming &#8220;Yamato Republic&#8221;</a> (This link from the original text directs to a blog post about Prince Shotoku.) &#8220;Japan&#8217;s Roots&#8221; We Don&#8217;t Know: History is said to be written by the victors. But hasn&#8217;t the truly important truth sometimes been &#8220;hidden&#8221;? This time, from Prince Shotoku, the relationship between Japan and Judaism, extraterrestrial spiritual beings, and&#8230;</p>



<p>There is a theory that this, too, was part of a sealing process to erase the bloodline of the legitimate Tenson. This is because the spread of Nigihayahi&#8217;s bloodline could <strong>shake the authority of the emperor who legitimizes Ninigi.</strong></p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc12">&#8230;So, Who Exactly Was Nigihayahi-no-Mikoto?</span></h2>



<p>There is a theory that Amaterasu Omikami in ancient times was worshipped as a <strong>male deity</strong>. In fact, he <em>was</em> a male deity. Descriptions of gender become clear in the <em>Kojiki</em> and <em>Nihon Shoki</em> much later, and in earlier traditions, it was globally common for the sun god to be male.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc13">Reasons for Gender Change (Various Theories)</span></h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>For the legitimization of the Yamato sovereignty:</strong> By making the imperial lineage leading from Ninigi to Jimmu the &#8220;grandchild&#8221; of a female deity, Amaterasu Omikami, the bloodline&#8217;s authority was strengthened.</li>



<li><strong>To hide Nigihayahi&#8217;s legitimacy:</strong> If Amaterasu = Nigihayahi, then Nigihayahi was the legitimate ruling deity. Therefore, Amaterasu Omikami was changed to a female deity to concentrate legitimacy on the Ninigi lineage.</li>
</ul>



<p>Thus, a view emerges that Nigihayahi = Amaterasu Omikami was sealed, and Ninigi was made the &#8220;visible sun.&#8221; The sun god is &#8220;yang&#8221; and inherently more fitting for a male. The sun god in Greek mythology is also male. It&#8217;s famous that the Amaterasu Omikami doll adorned on the Gion Festival floats has a bushy beard, and Amaterasu Omikami in the Koyasan Mandala was also an old man.</p>



<p>Amaterasu Omikami was changed into a goddess, and deities like his wife <strong>Seoritsuhime</strong> (瀬織津姫), <strong>Kushinadahime</strong> (櫛名田比売), <strong>Tsukuyomi</strong> (月読/つきよみ), and <strong>Konohanasakuyahime</strong> (木花咲耶姫) were erased from history. Amaterasu Omikami&#8217;s full divine name is <strong>Amaterukunituruhikoame-no-hoakari-kushitama-Nigihayahi</strong> (天照国照彦天火明櫛玉饒速日).</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc14">The True Identity of Nigihayahi-no-Mikoto</span></h2>



<p>Nigihayahi is considered the most excellent and strongest man. He actually descended from Takamagahara, leading 32 deities, and defeated <strong>Nagasunehiko</strong> (長髄彦), who was the strongest in Kinki. Nagasunehiko, known as the General of Hinomoto, surrendered to Nigihayahi. Nigihayahi possessed an overwhelmingly powerful battleship called the <strong>Heavenly Bird Ship (Ama-no-Torifune)</strong>. Ama-no-Torifune means a ship that flies as fast as a bird.</p>



<p>When Emperor Jimmu tried to enter Yamato, Nagasunehiko questioned Jimmu&#8217;s legitimacy, stating, &#8220;We already serve the Tenson, Lord Nigihayahi.&#8221; However, when Jimmu showed the bow and arrow (Ten Sacred Treasures, <em>tokusa no kandakara</em>) given to him by Amaterasu Omikami, Nigihayahi recognized it as proof of the Tenson clan and ordered Nagasunehiko to cease resistance.</p>



<p>The descendants of this Nigihayahi are the <strong>Mononobe clan</strong> (物部氏/もののべし) mentioned earlier.</p>



<p>Many people may not know the names Nigihayahi and Seoritsuhime, but they are often remembered by their aliases: <strong>Orihime</strong> and <strong>Hikoboshi</strong>. By the way, the Ghibli movie <em>Spirited Away</em> features a boy named <strong>Haku</strong>. Like Chihiro, Haku had his name stolen and couldn&#8217;t remember it. At the end of the movie, Haku finally remembers his true name and says, &#8220;My true name is <strong>Nigihayami Kohakunushi</strong>!&#8221; And when Haku remembers his true name, he returns to his original form as a Dragon God (Ryūjin, dragon body). This refers to &#8220;Amateru&#8230; Nigihayahi.&#8221; Nigihayahi was, in fact, a &#8220;dragon body.&#8221; The true identities of the Tenson clan &#8220;Amateru&#8230; Nigihayahi&#8221; and &#8220;Susanoo-no-Mikoto&#8221; are <strong>Dragon Gods</strong>. This Ghibli movie conveys a part of the mythological truth. (As expected from Hayao Miyazaki!)</p>



<p>The descendant of his sibling Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto is Urashima Taro, and the &#8220;ura&#8221; in Urashima Taro is &#8220;ura →裏 (back/hidden)&#8221; and &#8220;ura →占 (divination).&#8221; Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto is the god of divination, the god of the hidden world/otherworld.</p>



<p><a href="https://butterflyandtea.com/en/tsukuyomi-no-mikoto/" target="_blank">Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto and the Memory of the Universe</a> (This link from the original text directs to a blog post about Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto and Urashima Taro.)</p>



<p>Urashima Taro and Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto are enshrined together at Urashima Shrine in Ine Town, Kyoto Prefecture. Ninigi imprisoned Amaterasu Omikami in a cave. Then, he introduced a new goddess, Amaterasu Omikami, as the god of Ashihara-no-Nakatsukuni. The content of this story was completely changed and became the &#8220;Ama-no-Iwato Legend.&#8221; Also,<span class="marker-under"><a href="https://butterflyandtea.com/en/varna/#toc5" target="_blank"> Emperor Jimmu</a></span> existed, but Ninigi took his name and called himself &#8220;Emperor Jimmu,&#8221; who would become the first emperor. This Emperor Jimmu would be considered the first emperor, and the Imperial Family would continue to this day. It was not a peaceful transfer of land in Izumo, but after fierce battles, Nagasunehiko&#8217;s army was defeated by Ninigi&#8217;s army, and the land was seized. Finally, Nigihayahi intervened to end the war, and the land was ceded to Ninigi. Jimmu, who descended as a Tenson, is Ninigi&#8217;s great-grandchild.</p>



<p>&#8230;Therefore, Amaterasu and Nigihayahi are almost the same person, and they are <strong>Dragon People with roots in the Sirius star system</strong>. Nigihayahi is either an ancestor of Jesus Christ or a blood relative.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc15">Which is Correct: The Nihon Shoki or the Kojiki?</span></h2>



<p>It&#8217;s not that one is definitively correct. As you delve deeper into history, points connect, and the truth becomes visible. The <em>Kojiki</em> is written in code, while the <em>Nihon Shoki</em> was compiled for foreign audiences, specifically China, and does not contain the full truth to prevent the real Japan from being known. Moreover, both the <em>Kiki</em> (Kojiki and Nihon Shoki) were compiled by <strong>Fujiwara no Fuhito</strong>, and anything inconvenient for the Emperor or the Fujiwara family was not recorded. That&#8217;s why only a very small amount is written about Nigihayahi-no-Mikoto.</p>



<p>The truth lies within books considered &#8220;false documents.&#8221; The <em>Kojiki</em> is a book compiled during the Nara period, and its content was altered by Fujiwara no Fuhito, using Hieda no Are, to be convenient for the Emperor and the Fujiwara family. Therefore, important parts are missing, and the true parts are written using code. The true <em>Kojiki</em> is transmitted orally within the Takeuchi family. To decipher the code, one must refer to those oral traditions.</p>



<p>Even Japan&#8217;s symbolic &#8220;Mount Fuji&#8221; is not mentioned at all. Why is that? Because there was a &#8220;dynasty centered on Fuji.&#8221; Knowing this was also inconvenient for the Emperor and the Fujiwara family. It is also not recorded that there was a dynasty by Nigihayahi before Ninigi&#8217;s Tenson Kōrin. That information is found in ancient histories and traditions like the <em>Sendai Kuji Hongi</em> and <em>Hotsuma Tsutae</em>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc1">Urashima Taro = Urashimako Was a Real Person</span></h2>



<p>There&#8217;s a theory that the prototype of Urashima Taro was an actual person named <strong>Urashimako</strong> (浦嶋子). According to the ancient document <em>Takenouchi Monjo</em>, Urashimako rescued a miko (shrine maiden) who was about to be assaulted by villagers and later married her. This event was then sublimated into the story of the beautiful undersea palace, &#8220;Ryugu-jo.&#8221;</p>



<p>The depiction of the miko as a &#8220;turtle&#8221; can be seen as an expression of ancient Japanese symbolism, where sacred beings were represented by animals. And this Urashimako was a man belonging to the Tsukuyomi tribe, leading to the suggestion that <strong>&#8220;Urashima Taro = descendant of the Moon People.&#8221;</strong></p>



<p>Also, on a side note, <em>Gulliver&#8217;s Travels</em> by Jonathan Swift isn&#8217;t just satire. The land of Brobdingnag (the land of giants) that Gulliver visited is also said to be a memory of the ancient, actual giant races (Nephilim and some Anunnaki) that existed on Earth.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Gulliver = one who inherited the blood of giants (or an observer thereof)</strong></li>



<li>The possibility that an ancient, <strong>&#8220;real super-giant civilization&#8221;</strong> was sealed within the story.</li>
</ul>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc2">And Speaking of the Tsukuyomi Tribe&#8230;</span></h3>



<p>The term &#8220;Tsukuyomi tribe&#8221; typically derives from <strong>Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto</strong> (月読尊), the moon deity in Japanese mythology. Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto is the god who governs the night and was commanded to rule the night realm (Yorunokuni or &#8220;Food Country&#8221;).</p>



<p>The term &#8220;Tsukuyomi tribe&#8221; generally doesn&#8217;t refer to a specific ethnic group or collective. However, in some cases, it can be used in the following senses:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>People who value the moon&#8217;s movements:</strong> People who emphasize the moon&#8217;s movements and calculate the calendar using a lunar calendar are sometimes called the &#8220;Tsukuyomi tribe.&#8221;</li>



<li><strong>People who worship the moon god:</strong> People who enshrine Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto or worship the moon god are sometimes called the &#8220;Tsukuyomi tribe.&#8221;</li>
</ul>



<p>It&#8217;s <strong>Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto</strong> (月読命). There&#8217;s very little mention of this deity in the <em>Kojiki</em> or <em>Nihon Shoki</em>, and their true nature is so shrouded in myth that information is scarce, making it difficult to summarize (apologies!). However, it&#8217;s said that this deity has an astronomically high number of reincarnations and currently oversees and manages the reincarnation system in the spirit world. Perhaps they are a deity of few words? A cool, deeply loving, handsome figure?</p>



<p>They exist in the 10th dimension or higher, so it&#8217;s difficult for anyone who can&#8217;t perform high-level channeling to connect with them. That&#8217;s why there&#8217;s even less information.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc3">The Relationship Between the &#8220;Yuezhi (Gesshi),&#8221; &#8220;Jews,&#8221; &#8220;Hata Clan,&#8221; and &#8220;Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto&#8221;</span></h3>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc4">1. What are the Yuezhi (月氏)?</span></h4>



<p>The Yuezhi were a nomadic people who existed in Central Asia from before the common era, known as the Tocharians or Da Yuezhi (Great Yuezhi). They prospered through East-West trade (the Silk Road) and later expanded their influence into northern India. They are also said to have had contact with Buddhism and Zoroastrianism, potentially interacting with ancient Jewish and Persian cultures. The character &#8220;月&#8221; (moon/month) in &#8220;Yuezhi&#8221; sometimes leads to suggestions of a connection with Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc5">2. Relationship with Jews: The Yuezhi and the Lost Ten Tribes Theory</span></h4>



<p>The theory that some of the ancient Jewish people (the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel) migrated to Central and East Asia is widely prevalent in Japan. Of particular interest is the observation of Jewish elements in Yuezhi culture. For example:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Monotheistic tendencies.</li>



<li>Disciplines similar to covenants and laws.</li>



<li>Advanced knowledge of astrology and calendars.</li>
</ul>



<p>These points suggest the possibility that Jewish nomads integrated into the Yuezhi, forming connections with the later &#8220;Hata clan.&#8221;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc6">3. What is the Hata Clan (秦氏)? Immigrants Connected to Jews and Yuezhi</span></h4>



<p>The Hata clan is said to be a clan that immigrated from the continent around the time of Emperor Ōjin (4th century CE). They brought advanced technologies to Japan, including:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Silk weaving techniques.</li>



<li>Metalworking.</li>



<li>Scribe technology.</li>



<li>Water management and civil engineering techniques.</li>
</ul>



<p>They spread mainly from Uzumasa in Kyoto and prospered as later influential clans. The Hata clan is often said to be &#8220;descendants of Jews,&#8221; with evidence including:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Similarities between Jewish culture (e.g., Ark of God, structure of Torii gates).</li>



<li>The theory that &#8220;Uzumasa&#8221; in Kyoto&#8217;s Uzumasa is derived from &#8220;Uzumezza&#8221; (Hebrew for &#8220;prosperous people&#8221;).</li>



<li>Distribution of Israel-like place names (e.g., Isera, Yahata).</li>
</ul>



<p>It is highly probable that the ancestors of the Hata clan had connections with the Yuezhi = Da Yuezhi, who possessed Jewish culture.</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc7">4. Relationship with Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto</span></h4>



<p>Here, the connection with Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto (月読命) emerges. Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto is the god who governs night, the moon, the afterlife, and the spiritual world. In Japanese mythology, this deity is one of the &#8220;Three Noble Children&#8221; (三貴神) along with Amaterasu Omikami and Susanoo-no-Mikoto. Due to the extreme scarcity of information on Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, this deity has been a subject of research as a &#8220;sealed god&#8221; or &#8220;unrecorded god.&#8221;</p>



<p>Points of interest here include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Consistency regarding &#8220;moon&#8221; (name, symbolism).</li>



<li>Spiritual attributes as a manager of the spiritual realm and reincarnation.</li>



<li>The prevalence of &#8220;moon deity&#8221; systems among the deities worshipped by the Hata clan.</li>
</ul>



<p>From these, there&#8217;s a theory that Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto was a symbolic figure of &#8220;moon deity worship&#8221; common to the Yuezhi, Jews, and Hata clan.</p>



<p>Furthermore, from a spiritual perspective, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto is regarded as a divine spirit governing the spiritual realm and the cycle of reincarnation, and there&#8217;s a theory that this deity was once a leader of the &#8220;Moon People&#8221; = Tsukuyomi tribe who descended to Earth.</p>



<p>Everyone&#8217;s influence is too massive, even after coming down to Earth! Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto might have been quietly doing a lot behind the scenes.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc8">Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto and the Management of the Spiritual Realm</span></h2>



<p>Since ancient times, the moon has been described as a symbol of &#8220;death and rebirth&#8221; and the &#8220;unseen world (spiritual realm).&#8221; The moon&#8217;s waxing and waning cycle is said to symbolize the very cycle of reincarnation, repeating birth, death, and rebirth.</p>



<p>The spiritual realm is an intermediary domain where souls temporarily reside after death, and it is where the reincarnation system is managed. Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto is a high-dimensional being who adjusts the process of soul rebirth, ruling the inner and unconscious realms symbolized by the tranquility of &#8220;night&#8221; and the &#8220;moon.&#8221;</p>



<p>Let&#8217;s also touch upon the <strong>Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto = Anubis theory.</strong> Anubis, the guide of the dead in Egyptian mythology, has roles and characteristics very similar to Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto in terms of their connection to the moon and the afterlife.</p>



<p><a rel="noopener" href="http://www.moonover.jp/bekkan/god/anubis.htm" target="_blank">Egyptian Mythology, Deity List: Anubis</a> (This link from the original text directs to a Japanese website about Anubis.)</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc9">Kaguya-hime as an ET, Perhaps Tsukuyomi&#8217;s Twin Flame?</span></h2>



<p><strong>Kaguya-hime</strong> is depicted as an extraterrestrial being. The &#8220;shining ship&#8221; she rode suggests a UFO, and she herself is said to have been from the &#8220;Tsukuyomi tribe,&#8221; meaning she had roots on the moon. Could fairy tales have been created this way?</p>



<p>There&#8217;s also a theory that the original Kaguya-hime was Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto&#8217;s <strong>&#8220;twin flame.&#8221;</strong> Twin flames are male and female (or even same-sex) who originate from the same soul and exist separately. Their reunion is said to promote soul integration.</p>



<p>Furthermore, Kaguya-hime might be the same entity as Hina from Hawaiian mythology and Hotohar (Hathor) from Egyptian mythology, connecting her to a lineage of &#8220;moon goddesses&#8221; found across civilizations.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc10">Connection to the &#8220;Lunar Dimension&#8221; in Modern Times</span></h3>



<p>In spiritual and cosmic origin theories, the moon is not just a celestial body, but is also said to exist in another dimension and even function as an extraterrestrial spacecraft.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc11">The Relationship Between Ashtar and Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto: A Soul Reflection</span></h2>



<p><strong>Ashtar</strong> is a high-dimensional being known as a messenger of ascension. While some identify &#8220;Ashtar = Enki,&#8221; the Ashtar mentioned here is different from the Anunnaki Enki. This Ashtar is a leading representative of pure consciousness deeply connected to cosmic consciousness itself. (It seems Ashtar dislikes being called Ashtar &#x1f609;).</p>



<p>There&#8217;s also a theory that Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto and Ashtar are &#8220;twin souls,&#8221; and their vibrational frequencies and spiritual qualities are said to be very similar. They share a connection at the soul level, each playing a role in &#8220;harmony,&#8221; &#8220;transformation,&#8221; and &#8220;evolution&#8221; in different dimensional realms.</p>



<p>According to channeler information, Ashtar supposedly said that &#8220;outside the canopy is not a physical dimension, so matter cannot exist.&#8221;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc12">Connection to Twin Souls</span></h3>



<p>Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto is a sibling deity (or is it?) to the sun goddess Amaterasu Omikami, and together with Susanoo-no-Mikoto, they are called the &#8220;Three Noble Children.&#8221; However, in recent spiritual interpretations, these three deities are also said to be <strong>twin flames (a triune soul)</strong>, deeply connected at the soul level.</p>



<p>As the orchestrator of souls, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto is sometimes believed to have the role of governing &#8220;which soul is reborn in which era, with what kind of lessons.&#8221;</p>



<p>The gods are not merely objects of worship, but are the very structure of our souls.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc13">The Lineage of Japanese Souls: Descendants of the Tiamat People</span></h2>



<p>Japanese people are said to be <strong>descendants of Lemuria with Tiamat-system souls</strong>, unlike the humans created by the Anunnaki. This also means they inherit a pure spiritual legacy derived from the cosmic source. Therefore, the existence of figures like Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, Kaguya-hime, and Urashimako are not just myths or fairy tales, but &#8220;codes&#8221; that awaken the memories of our souls.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc14">Summary</span></h2>



<p>The truth of Urashima Taro lies in the spiritual journey of Urashimako, a descendant of the Moon People, the Tsukuyomi tribe. His story with the miko (turtle) might symbolize cosmic love, reincarnation, and soul integration.</p>



<p>And the stories of high-dimensional beings like Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, Kaguya-hime, and Ashtar are not mere myths or legends, but quietly teach us where our souls, living today, once came from and where they are headed.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p><strong>Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto (Tsukuyomi)</strong> is known as the &#8220;god of the moon&#8221; in Japanese mythology, yet their true nature is extremely enigmatic. While the <em>Kojiki</em> makes no mention of them, the <em>Nihon Shoki</em> states they were shunned by Amaterasu Omikami after slaying the food god Hōshoku-no-Kami, and subsequently rarely appeared, being considered a shadow god. But then again, it&#8217;s just the <em>Kojiki</em> after all. That applies to all of them.</p>



<p>Despite all this, Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto continues to watch over human souls as a manager in the spiritual dimension.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>This is a deep dive into alternative historical and spiritual narratives, offering a rich tapestry of interconnected concepts. It challenges conventional understandings of mythology and suggests a hidden cosmic lineage for humanity.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc1">Introduction</span></h2>



<p>In Japanese mythology, <strong>Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto</strong> (猿田彦命) is known as the god who opens the way, while <strong>Jesus Christ</strong> is the central figure of a major world religion. Although they seem unrelated at first glance, some folk traditions and esoteric texts strangely intersect, even identifying these two figures as one and the same.</p>



<p>This article will delve deeply into the relationship between Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto and Jesus Christ, using mythological and traditional materials based on texts like the <em>Kojiki</em> and <em>Seito Takenouchi Monjo</em> (Orthodox Takenouchi Document). I must state this now: while I&#8217;ve touched upon the <em>Kojiki</em> and other texts numerous times, please keep in mind that not everything in them is necessarily true in a literal sense.</p>



<p>Let&#8217;s begin ↓</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc2">Who is Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto?</span></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-duotone-magenta-yellow"><img decoding="async" width="480" height="480" src="https://butterflyandtea.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sarutahiko.png" alt="" class="wp-image-5720" srcset="https://butterflyandtea.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sarutahiko.png 480w, https://butterflyandtea.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sarutahiko-300x300.png 300w, https://butterflyandtea.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/sarutahiko-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px" /></figure>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc3">Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto in Japanese Mythology</span></h4>



<p>Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto is a deity appearing in the <em>Kojiki</em> and <em>Nihon Shoki</em>. He is considered the <strong>&#8220;god of guidance&#8221;</strong> and <strong>&#8220;god who opens the way,&#8221;</strong> as he guided <strong>Ninigi-no-Mikoto</strong> and his entourage, who descended from Takamagahara (the High Plain of Heaven) at the command of Amaterasu Omikami, from heaven down to Ashihara-no-Nakatsukuni (the terrestrial world).</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>His face was <strong>red</strong>, with a <strong>tall and long nose</strong>.</li>



<li>He appeared <strong>radiant</strong> and stood at the boundary between heaven and earth.</li>



<li>He married <strong>Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto</strong>.</li>
</ul>



<p>These descriptions suggest an appearance different from the Japanese people of that time, leading to theories that he was an <strong>&#8220;outsider&#8221; or &#8220;immigrant.&#8221;</strong></p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc4">Sarutahiko = Jesus Theory in the Seito Takenouchi Monjo</span></h4>



<p>The theory that &#8220;Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto = Jesus Christ&#8221; is primarily based on the <em>Seito Takenouchi Monjo</em> and its oral traditions.</p>



<p><strong>What is the <em>Seito Takenouchi Monjo</em>?</strong> The <em>Seito Takenouchi Monjo</em> is an ancient document said to have been passed down through the Takeuchi family. It describes the &#8220;Age of the Gods&#8221; before the Japanese Imperial family, interactions with extraterrestrial civilizations, and claims that world civilizations originated from Japan. While its contents are academically refuted, it holds some support in mythological and spiritual circles.</p>



<p>Mutsuhiro Takeuchi states about Sarutahiko: &#8220;I believe Sarutahiko is Jesus Christ.&#8221;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc5">Commonalities Between Sarutahiko and Jesus</span></h4>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><thead><tr><td>Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto</td><td>Jesus Christ</td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Red face, tall nose (unusual features)</td><td>Middle Eastern appearance (Jewish)</td></tr><tr><td>Guided the Tenson Kōrin (descent from heaven)</td><td>Guided people to the &#8220;Kingdom of God&#8221;</td></tr><tr><td>God who opens the way</td><td>&#8220;I am the way, the truth, and the life&#8221; (John 14:6)</td></tr><tr><td>Married Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto</td><td>Theory of relationship with Mary Magdalene (non-canonical)</td></tr><tr><td>Enshrined as a deity of Ise</td><td>Connection to the Ise = Israel theory</td></tr><tr><td>Intermediary for earthly gods</td><td>Intermediary between God and humans</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc6">Who is Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto?</span></h4>



<p>Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto is a goddess appearing in Japanese mythology, famous for performing a dance to lure Amaterasu Omikami out when she hid in the Ama-no-Iwato (Heavenly Rock Cave). She is also revered as the god of performing arts and entertainment.</p>



<p>In the <em>Seito Takenouchi Monjo</em>, &#8220;Ame-no-Uzume-no-Mikoto&#8221; is said to have become the consort of &#8220;Sarutahiko.&#8221;</p>



<p>From these commonalities, the theory that &#8220;Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto = Jesus Christ (or his incarnation/brother)&#8221; has emerged.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc7">The Theory That &#8220;Sarutahiko Was a Jew&#8221;</span></h3>



<p>Behind this theory lies the <strong>&#8220;Japanese-Jewish Common Ancestry Theory&#8221;</strong> (日ユ同祖論, Nichiyu Dōsoron), which suggests that Japanese and Jewish people share common ancestors.</p>



<p><a href="https://butterflyandtea.com/en/israel/" target="_blank">Historical Romance: Were the Yayoi People Ancient Israelites? ~The Hata Clan and the Japanese-Jewish Common Ancestry Theory~</a> (This link from the original text directs to a blog post about the Japanese-Jewish common ancestry theory.) It is widely known that our Japanese roots trace back to a mixture of Jomon and Yayoi people. Among them, a theory that has been discussed among some researchers and history enthusiasts in recent years is: &#8220;Could some of the lost 10 tribes of ancient Israel have been included among the Yayoi people?&#8221;</p>



<h4 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc8">What is the Japanese-Jewish Common Ancestry Theory?</span></h4>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Similar rituals and artifacts in Shinto and Judaism (Torii = Covenant Gate, Mikoshi = Ark of the Covenant).</li>



<li>Similarities between Shinto prayers (norito) and Hebrew.</li>



<li>Phonetic proximity of Ise and Israel.</li>



<li>Similarities between the Three Sacred Treasures (sword, mirror, magatama) and the contents of the Old Testament&#8217;s &#8220;Ark of God.&#8221;</li>
</ul>



<p>Given the descriptions of Sarutahiko&#8217;s Middle Eastern appearance (high nose, red face) and his enshrinement in Ise, the hypothesis that he was Jewish (or from that cultural sphere) is also put forth.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc9">The Tengu Legend in Japan</span></h2>



<p>There is a theory that the origin of the <strong>Tengu</strong> (天狗) legend in Japan might have been Christ himself.</p>



<p>In Japanese legends, Christ is said to have arrived in Japan in a flying ship, which was called &#8220;Tenkūbo&#8221; (天空母, Heavenly Mother). This is likely a reference to the &#8220;Ame-no-Ukifune&#8221; (天空浮船, Heavenly Floating Boat).</p>



<p>It is said that Jesus, after climbing a mountain, descended into a village. At that time, Jesus&#8217;s face, likely with lighter pigmentation than Japanese people, was said to be severely sunburned and red. The Japanese people who saw this were surprised, and rumors spread that &#8220;the person from Tenkūbo has a long nose and a red face.&#8221; Compared to Japanese people, his nose would have been high, and since he came from the sky, it&#8217;s natural to assume he had wings. It is rumored that the rumor of &#8220;the person from Tenkūbo&#8221; gradually evolved, leading to the term &#8220;Tengu&#8221; being used for creatures with red faces, long noses, and wings.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc10">The Legend of Jesus&#8217;s Arrival in Japan and &#8220;Christ&#8217;s Tomb&#8221; in Aomori</span></h2>



<p>In Shingō Village (formerly Herai Village) in Aomori Prefecture, there is a <strong>&#8220;Tomb of Christ.&#8221;</strong></p>



<p>According to the tradition of Shingō Village:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Jesus Christ did not die on the cross; his younger brother, Isukiri, took his place.</li>



<li>Jesus escaped to Japan and lived in Herai Village as &#8220;Toraidaro Daitenkū&#8221; (十来太郎大天空).</li>



<li>He married a local woman and left descendants.</li>



<li>His descendants are the Sawaguchi family, and there is even a surprising tradition that he came to Japan with his brother, Isukiri.</li>



<li>He eventually died at the age of 106, and his tomb was built.</li>
</ul>



<p>This &#8220;Jesus&#8217;s Arrival in Japan Theory&#8221; has garnered some attention based on oral traditions, place names, customs, and the existence of the tomb.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc11">Are Sarutahiko and Jesus the Same?</span></h2>



<p>This is a hypothesis not supported by modern academia. However, the following interpretations are possible:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Possibility ①: Same Person Theory</strong> Sarutahiko = Jesus, who came to Japan and became the spiritual guide during Amaterasu&#8217;s era.</li>



<li><strong>Possibility ②: Functional Identity Theory</strong> A &#8220;saint with the role of connecting God and humans,&#8221; like Jesus, was deified as Sarutahiko.</li>



<li><strong>Possibility ③: Cultural Diffusion Theory</strong> Individuals or groups who immigrated from the Middle East (Jewish/Christian culture) were integrated into Japanese mythology.</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc12">Universal Principles Hidden Within Myth</span></h2>



<p>What emerges from comparing Sarutahiko-no-Mikoto and Jesus Christ is the common theme of a &#8220;guiding presence,&#8221; a &#8220;spiritual intermediary,&#8221; and a &#8220;connector between God and humans.&#8221; This might be a universal form of the &#8220;transcendent guide&#8221; that humanity continues to seek across religions and cultures. By reading these as &#8220;myths&#8221; and &#8220;legends&#8221; today, we can touch upon the ancient people&#8217;s worldview, their beliefs, and their hopes for the future.</p>



<p>Finally, Sarutahiko is a figure from the Age of the Gods, as recorded in the <em>Kojiki</em>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc1">That Enlil is for good is partly true.</span></h2>



<p>It&#8217;s said in some circles that Enlil is inclined towards good. Enlil is 100% of the <strong>&#8220;divine bloodline,&#8221;</strong> having a Pleiadian queen as his mother, whereas Enki, having a Draconian queen as his mother, is a human-reptilian hybrid and of the <strong>&#8220;demonic bloodline.&#8221;</strong> I&#8217;ve summarized this information. Isn&#8217;t this talking about before they came to Earth?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><thead><tr><td>Name</td><td>Status/Relationship</td><td>Characteristics/Actions</td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Anu</strong></td><td>Council member of the Galactic Federation. Father of Enki and Enlil. King of Nibiru.</td><td>Permitted Earth&#8217;s development.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Enki</strong></td><td>Eldest son.

Controlled Babylon and Egypt.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p class="is-style-clip-box has-box-style">The meaning of Anunnaki is that &#8220;Anu&#8221; means heaven, &#8220;n&#8221; means from, and &#8220;naki&#8221; means those who came down. In Japan, they are said to be the origin of Daidarabocchi. Or perhaps Nurarihyon? Lol.</p>



<p>Enki created a new life by combining Anunnaki DNA with the DNA of hominids, Homo erectus, who were on Earth at the time. This is <strong>&#8220;Adam,&#8221;</strong> considered the progenitor of humanity in the Old Testament <em>Genesis</em>.</p>



<p>It was Enlil, said to be the God Yahweh of the Old Testament, who caused the flood to destroy humanity. It was Enki who saved Noah&#8217;s family, the only remaining humans. Enki is not Lucifer. Enki&#8217;s son Marduk was banished and became a fallen angel. This Marduk is the later Lucifer. Yahweh is Enlil, not Enki.</p>



<p>It was that Enlil who told Moses to offer his son as a sacrifice. It was Enki who told Moses, after he had taken his son to the mountain to sacrifice him as God commanded, to &#8220;return with your son.&#8221; Enki intervened due to the outrageous tyranny of Enlil, who was Yahweh. That is why what Yahweh said suddenly changed.</p>



<p>It&#8217;s not that they fought and Enlil won. Enlil was merely deceiving by using the name God Yahweh. He is not a victor. Enki did not lose, so he did not become a fallen angel. He created the Atlantis civilization, and after the flood, he created the Sumerian civilization. The fallen angel Lucifer was Enki&#8217;s son, Marduk.</p>



<p>&#8230;See? This race is way too chaotic lol.</p>



<p>They almost caused humanity&#8217;s extinction due to sibling quarrels, and it feels like there&#8217;s no good or evil, rather they are just harmful.</p>



<p>First, a common misconception is the theory that &#8220;the Garden of Eden of Adam and Eve was Japan,&#8221; but this is incorrect. The story of Adam and Eve is a symbolic myth of the ancestors of Westerners, rooted in Sumerian mythology and incorporated into the Old Testament. The roots of the Japanese people are different from the races created by the Anunnaki; they belong to a higher-dimensional lineage, originating from other races of the Sirius system who created Earth. (Although various souls reincarnate into the bodies created by Enlil and Enki.)</p>



<p>Speaking of Anunnaki bloodlines, the royal families, aristocrats, and elite classes of Western countries are said to be descendants of Adam, created by Enki. They tend to be loyal to ancient Anunnaki contracts and genetic lines, and they often claim to be &#8220;God&#8217;s chosen people.&#8221; So, I think Enlil is perhaps a little more benevolent than Enki, but not truly a good guy (most of them are quite eccentric).</p>



<p>And the Anunnaki race is still alive today. In Egyptian mythology, Osiris was assassinated by his younger brother &#8220;Set,&#8221; and this brother Set is Enlil. (This is a symbolic myth of Enki being eliminated by Enlil.)</p>



<p>The Anunnaki left Earth to the Reptilians and returned to their own planet. ← It seems they are currently confined to another planet and do not exist on Earth. The Anunnaki Enki and Enlil are still alive today. &#8230;For tens of thousands of years. (If they live, do they live infinitely long?)</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc2">The Sudden Disappearance of the Sumerians</span></h3>



<p>Starting around 4000 BCE, the Sumerians, who flourished greatly, suddenly disappeared from the historical stage around 2000 BCE. City-states collapsed, and leadership shifted to successor civilizations like Akkad, Babylonia, and Assyria, but no clear records remain about where the Sumerians themselves went. They possessed advanced scientific technology, especially weapon technology and atomic energy (so-called nuclear power). While they brought the light of civilization to humanity, such as agriculture, astronomy, and architecture, they also simultaneously taught the dark aspects, such as war, slavery, and weapons of mass destruction.</p>



<p>The Sumerians knew almost accurately the planets of the solar system. Surprisingly, they even knew of the existence of Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. They had established a base-60 mathematical system that is still used today, and they were able to create advanced calendars based on the lunar calendar. In addition, they also seemed to have advanced medical knowledge, such as cataract surgery methods, and legal systems.</p>



<p>In fact, the Goshikijin (Five-Colored People) traveled to various countries around the world from Heitate Jingu aboard the Heavenly Floating Boats (Ame-no-Ukifune), becoming the indigenous peoples of those nations. This includes ancient Sumerians, ancient Jews, Native Americans, Eskimos, and Mongoloids. (Among the Indios, there are the &#8220;Hopi tribe&#8221; and &#8220;Navajo tribe.&#8221;)</p>



<p>Around 3500 BCE, the &#8220;Sumerian Civilization,&#8221; the world&#8217;s oldest ancient civilization, suddenly appeared in the southern part of Babylonia, which occupies southern Mesopotamia (present-day Iraq and Kuwait). Enlil, the prince of the Anunnaki, built Israel with the Sumerian people, and the Goshikijin came and later built the &#8220;Sumerian Civilization.&#8221; This is why it is said that the ancestors of Japanese and ancient Jews are the same (Japanese-Jewish common ancestry theory).</p>



<p>As a result, numerous civilizations flourished on Earth, but at the same time, internal conflicts among the Anunnaki intensified. Conflicts using nuclear weapons devastated Earth, destroying much of the natural environment and human society.</p>



<p>The democracy revered by the United States is also one of the things the Anunnaki left on Earth. The Anunnaki encouraged direct democracy in planetary governance and visited various places to convey this. By around 300 BCE, many of these Anunnaki are said to have returned to their original home planet, Nibiru.</p>



<p>They just did whatever they wanted and went back, didn&#8217;t they? They&#8217;re too long-lived; aren&#8217;t they bored living for tens of thousands of years? Surely the higher-ups are keeping them constrained. They should properly apologize for all the trouble they caused on Earth. And their descendants have been controlling the world.</p>



<p>A race with unusually long heads. Because they have an excessively high need for self-display, they name islands after themselves in some places, and their personality is to show off, thinking, &#8220;The general public, the slaves, wouldn&#8217;t understand this, would they?&#8221;</p>



<p>People who are excessively selfish, who lack empathy, whose conversations don&#8217;t connect, who interpret things conveniently, who can only do unpleasant things, who like to take things for their own benefit&#8230; perhaps, they might have such tendencies. (Not everyone, though.)</p>



<p>Well, please never come to Earth again.</p>



<p>.</p>



<p>.</p>



<p>.</p>



<p>.</p>



<p>.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc1">Susanoo-no-Mikoto, the Outsider God – The History of Conflict between Izumo and the Tenson Clan</span></h2>



<p>Amaterasu Omikami, who rules the heavens, and Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, who governs the moon. And then, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, the god who protects the turbulent seas and boundaries. He stands out as a distinct and unusual figure in Japanese mythology. Although he was a member of the Tenson clan (heavenly grandchild clan), he was the first to descend to &#8220;Earth.&#8221;</p>



<p><em>Historical spellings include Susanoo, Susanoo-o, Susa-no-o, Susanoo-o-no-Mikoto, and Susano-o-no-Mikoto.</em></p>



<p><em>In the Kojiki, he is referred to as Takehayasusanoo-no-Mikoto, Hayasusanoo-no-Mikoto, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, and Susanoo-no-Mikoto. In the Nihon Shoki, he is Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Kamu Susanoo-no-Mikoto, Hayasusanoo-no-Mikoto, and Take Susanoo-no-Mikoto. In the Izumo-no-Kuni Fudoki, he is Kamu Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Susanoo-no-Mikoto. In the Shina Shintan Koku Kōdairekiki – &#8220;Nihon Kodaishi&#8221; Zōhohen, he is written as Oso-o-no-Mikoto, among others. (So many names!)</em></p>



<p>In the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism, he is identified with Gozu Tenno.</p>



<p>Long before the Hata clan even arrived in Japan, Susanoo-no-Mikoto descended upon this archipelago. As a member of the Tenson clan, Susanoo-no-Mikoto was the younger brother of Amaterasu Omikami and thus of the same lineage.</p>



<p><a rel="noopener" href="https://aminaflyers.amina-co.jp/list/detail/1479" target="_blank">What kind of god is Susanoo-no-Mikoto? The Charm of the Raging God [Japanese Gods] | AMINA COLLECTION Co.,Ltd.</a> (This link from the original text directs to a Japanese culture website about Susanoo.) Susanoo is very famous in Japanese mythology. He is the younger brother deity of Amaterasu Omikami and frequently appears in the <em>Kojiki</em> and <em>Nihon Shoki</em> as &#8220;Susanoo-no-Mikoto&#8221; or &#8220;Susanoo-no-Mikoto.&#8221; Although he was a great renegade and banished from the celestial realm, he also became a hero by descending to the land of Izumo and slaying the Yamata-no-Orochi.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc2">The &#8220;Foreign God&#8221; Who Became King of Izumo</span></h3>



<p>His divine power was first tested in Kyushu. There, Susanoo-no-Mikoto, possessing absolute power, triumphed over the ancient Izumo clan and seized control of the Izumo dynasty. And thus, the legend begins. He defeated the Yamata-no-Orochi and married Kushinadahime, a local maiden. Their child was Suseribime. It was this princess whom Ōkuninushi later married. Ōkuninushi was an adopted son-in-law and is thought to be from a different ethnic group than Susanoo-no-Mikoto.</p>



<p>Incidentally, Susanoo-no-Mikoto is said to have already had eight imperial princes, leading to one theory that this is the origin of the place name &#8220;Hachioji&#8221; (meaning &#8220;eight princes&#8221;).</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc3">Susanoo-no-Mikoto&#8217;s Bloodline: The Munakata Three Goddesses and Inari Okami</span></h3>



<p>Susanoo-no-Mikoto was not merely a god of war. <strong>Uka-no-Mitama-no-Kami</strong> (宇迦之御魂神), the source of Inari worship, was his second son.</p>



<p><a href="https://butterflyandtea.com/en/forceps/#toc2" target="_blank">What is a Nature Spirit? Ancient Japanese Nature Worship and Its Essence</a> (This link from the original text directs to a blog post about nature spirits in Japan.) Unlike the &#8220;guardian spirits&#8221; we often hear about, &#8220;nature spirits&#8221; are mystical beings that are a bit difficult to understand. They can be said to be very important beings for us to deeply examine the growth of our souls and our relationship with nature. What are nature spirits? Nature spirits are beings&#8230;</p>



<p><strong>The Relationship Between Uka-no-Mitama-no-Kami and the Hata Clan: Fushimi Inari and the Hata Clan&#8217;s Connection</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>The founding of Fushimi Inari Taisha (Kyoto) originated from the enshrinement of &#8220;Uka-no-Mitama-no-Kami,&#8221; the tutelary deity of the Hata clan.</li>



<li>According to a lost passage from the <em>Yamashiro-no-Kuni Fudoki</em>, it is said to have begun when a person named Hata no Irogu enshrined a divine spirit on Inari Mountain.</li>



<li>From this, Uka-no-Mitama-no-Kami is considered the tutelary deity of the Hata clan, and the widespread &#8220;Inari worship&#8221; throughout Japan speaks to the immense influence of this clan.</li>
</ul>



<p><strong>Connection to Susanoo-no-Mikoto?</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>In some documents, Uka-no-Mitama-no-Kami is listed in genealogies as a child or grandchild of Susanoo-no-Mikoto.</li>



<li>One theory suggests a tradition that after Susanoo-no-Mikoto expanded his influence in Izumo, he imparted skills and knowledge to the ancestors of the Hata clan.</li>



<li>Thus, a flow of Susanoo-no-Mikoto → Uka-no-Mitama → Inari Okami → Hata Clan can be seen.</li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><thead><tr><td>Item</td><td>Content</td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Uka-no-Mitama-no-Kami</strong></td><td>Deity of grains and rice. Main deity of Inari shrines.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Relationship with Hata Clan</strong></td><td>Enshrined at Fushimi Inari as the Hata clan&#8217;s tutelary deity.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Relationship with Susanoo-no-Mikoto</strong></td><td>Genealogically considered a child or grandchild of Susanoo-no-Mikoto.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Importance</strong></td><td>A deity symbolizing the fusion of immigrant culture/technology and Shinto faith.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p><em>Note: In academic circles, there is a strong view that the genealogies of the gods in classic myths like the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki were compiled with political intentions regarding their relationship with Susanoo-no-Mikoto.</em></p>



<p>The Hata clan&#8217;s deity, Inari Okami, might not be of Susanoo-no-Mikoto&#8217;s lineage, but rather a &#8220;deity of foreign origin.&#8221;</p>



<p>Furthermore, his daughters possess divine attributes symbolizing &#8220;sea and water&#8221; and are worshipped as the <strong>Munakata Three Goddesses</strong>:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Ichikishima-hime-no-Mikoto</li>



<li>Tagitsuhime-no-Mikoto</li>



<li>Tagorihime-no-Mikoto</li>
</ul>



<p>Currently, they are enshrined at Itsukushima Shrine and Munakata Taisha. Susanoo-no-Mikoto&#8217;s blood symbolized not only power but also harmony with nature.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc4">The &#8220;Usurpation of Sovereignty&#8221; by the Tenson Clan</span></h3>



<p><a rel="noopener" href="https://izumooyashiro.or.jp/about/ookami" target="_blank">Izumo Oyashiro and Ōkuninushi-no-Ōkami</a> (This link from the original text directs to the official website of Izumo Oyashiro.) The official website of Izumo Oyashiro, famous as the god of matchmaking and good fortune. The enshrined deity is Ōkuninushi-no-Ōkami, widely revered as &#8220;Daikoku-sama,&#8221; whose various divine virtues manifested throughout Japan are praised by numerous divine names&#8230;</p>



<p>After Susanoo-no-Mikoto&#8217;s death, Amaterasu Omikami moved to assert control over Izumo. The envoys sent were Takemikazuchi and Futsunushi. They told Ōkuninushi, the King of Izumo, to &#8220;cede the land.&#8221; However, Ōkuninushi replied, &#8220;It is not I who should be entrusted with the future of this country. Please ask my son, Kotoshiro-nushi, who inherits Susanoo-no-Mikoto&#8217;s blood.&#8221;</p>



<p>This Kotoshiro-nushi, also known as &#8220;Ebisu&#8221; of the Seven Lucky Gods, has an anecdote that he was fishing despite being in wartime. He accepted the cession of the land, but one person was not convinced: <strong>Takeminakata</strong>.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc5">The God Sealed in Suwa</span></h3>



<p>Takeminakata attempted a final resistance and, after a battle, fled to Suwa (present-day Nagano Prefecture). As a result, his arms were broken, and his life was spared, but he was forbidden to leave that place. <strong>Suwa Taisha</strong>, which enshrines Takeminakata, was born in this land.</p>



<p><a rel="noopener" target="_blank" href="https://suwataisha.or.jp">Shinano Province Ichinomiya Suwa Taisha</a> (This link from the original text directs to the official website of Suwa Taisha.) Suwa Taisha is a shrine with four precincts around Lake Suwa in Nagano Prefecture. It is the Ichinomiya of Shinano Province. Its divine rank is Shōichii. It is the head shrine of Suwa Shrines throughout the country and is considered one of the oldest shrines in Japan.</p>



<p>The short-lived &#8220;Suwa Kingdom&#8221; might be the memory of a lost dynasty.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc6">Conclusion: The &#8220;Foreign God&#8221; Who Shaped Japan</span></h3>



<p>Who was Susanoo-no-Mikoto? The Izumo dynasty he ruled and his bloodline still leave their traces in the form of shrines throughout Japan. He was a being who could not be controlled by mere force. That was the god Susanoo-no-Mikoto. And the transfer of power from Izumo to the Tenson clan—it might not have been just a myth but a &#8220;real transfer of sovereignty&#8221; in ancient Japan.</p>



<p>History is told by the victors. But mythology is the &#8220;form&#8221; left by the silent side. It is said that gods with many names in shrines were very active on Earth (3D) and therefore have many people under their protection. Susanoo-no-Mikoto seems to have something similar&#8230;</p>



<p>Oh, never mind. Thank you for reading.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>The story of Susanoo-no-Mikoto certainly presents a fascinating alternative perspective on Japan&#8217;s ancient history, weaving together divine narratives with what might have been real-world power struggles and cultural exchanges.</p>



<p>Are there any other aspects of this myth or Japanese history that you&#8217;d like to explore further?</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc1">Who Are the Nephilim?</span></h2>

<p>The Nephilim weren&#8217;t just giants. They were <strong>hybrids of humans and fallen angels</strong>, and their existence was abhorred by God throughout the Bible. For instance, many researchers speculate that God&#8217;s decision to cleanse the world with a Great Flood in Noah&#8217;s time was because &#8220;the earth was filled with violence.&#8221; There are also theories that the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the command to utterly destroy the Canaanites, stemmed from the Nephilim.</p>



<p>Why did God not forgive them? And why did God tell Noah to &#8220;offer your son as a sacrifice&#8221;? This is because the &#8220;Nephilim,&#8221; hybrids with demons, were involved. Nephilim appear in various eras.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc2">Do Nephilim Still Exist?</span></h3>



<p>Are Nephilim a thing of the past? In fact, they have appeared in every era. The Paiute tribe, an indigenous American people, has a legend: &#8220;Before us, there were cannibalistic giants.&#8221; And, at one point, they cornered these giants in a cave, set it on fire, and annihilated them.</p>



<p>Archaeologically, skeletons measuring <strong>2.7 to 3.4 meters tall, with six fingers, red hair, and adorned with jewels</strong> have been excavated. These skeletons were deemed &#8220;not native,&#8221; shocking researchers at the time. However, these relics were successively confiscated by the <strong>Smithsonian Institution</strong> and have not been publicly displayed. The reason is simple: they contradict Darwin&#8217;s theory of evolution.</p>



<p>They appeared on Earth, took wives, left hybrid descendants, and imparted to their descendants, the Nephilim, the means to rule the Earth in the form of &#8220;government.&#8221; The &#8220;fallen angels&#8221; then returned to the underground, re-emerging on the surface as needed.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc3">Peru&#8217;s Sacsayhuamán and the Mystery of Ancient Architecture</span></h2>



<p><a rel="noopener" href="https://www.oooh.jp/contents/spot/sacsayhuaman/" target="_blank">Peru: Sacsayhuamán</a> (This link from the original text directs to a travel site about Sacsayhuamán.) Sacsayhuamán, located on a hillside about 2 kilometers northwest of the city of Cusco in Peru, is a magnificent fortress ruin of the Inca Empire. Its walls, built with massive stones, speak of the height of its remarkable architectural technology in harmony with nature, overwhelming visitors.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full wp-duotone-midnight"><img decoding="async" width="468" height="628" src="https://butterflyandtea.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/2025-06-03-23.38.12.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-5615" srcset="https://butterflyandtea.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/2025-06-03-23.38.12.jpg 468w, https://butterflyandtea.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/2025-06-03-23.38.12-224x300.jpg 224w" sizes="(max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px" /></figure>



<p>In Sacsayhuamán, located in Peru, South America, astonishing megalithic architecture can be seen. Stones weighing over <strong>120 tons each are perfectly fitted together in polygonal shapes, with gaps so tight a hair cannot pass through.</strong> How was such architectural technology possible in an era without wheels or advanced tools? Numerous elongated skulls, said to be &#8220;artificially deformed,&#8221; have also been found, leading to the theory that these are &#8220;traces of the Nephilim.&#8221;</p>



<p>When asked, the Inca people clearly state: &#8220;This ruin was not built by us. It was built by giants who lived here long ago.&#8221;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc4">Evidence of Giants Worldwide</span></h2>



<p>Records of giant bones and footprints exist across the globe.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>In 1891, a <strong>gigantic skeleton</strong> was discovered in Wisconsin.</li>



<li>A 1912 <em>New York Times</em> article reported the discovery of <strong>18 giant skeletons.</strong></li>



<li>In Mpumalanga Province, South Africa, there is a <strong>massive footprint carved into a rock</strong> called &#8220;God&#8217;s Footprint.&#8221;</li>



<li>In the Caucasus region, there are reports of <strong>huge skulls</strong> found in stone underground chambers.</li>
</ul>



<p>Furthermore, there are stories that the Vatican&#8217;s underground archives contain <strong>&#8220;books for giants&#8221;</strong> that are too large for normal humans. Many rocks and mountains are said to be the fossilized remains of Nephilim and other ancient colossal creatures that thrived in that era. (The patterns and colors resemble cut flesh itself.)</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc5">Three Types of Humans: Great Giants, Medium Giants, and Small People</span></h2>



<p>It is said that three types of humans once coexisted on Earth:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Great Giants</strong> (5-6 meters tall)</li>



<li><strong>Medium Giants</strong> (around 3 meters tall)</li>



<li><strong>Small People</strong> (the same size as us today, or smaller)</li>
</ul>



<p>Ancient paintings and traditions often contain expressions that hint at this structure.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc6">Missing Dwarfs, Hidden Giant Bones</span></h3>



<p>In modern archaeology, very few &#8220;bones smaller than us&#8221; are found. On the other hand, records and reports of giant bones (3-6 meter class) exist worldwide, but many are <strong>&#8220;for some reason&#8221; not made public.</strong> In densely populated cities, giants are hidden. This suggests that underground cities are involved, and the ruling class knows the giants&#8217; whereabouts.</p>



<p>Giants have always held power, and the lineage of the Nephilim has consistently dominated. This is a fact that has not changed since creation. And in many ancient myths, &#8220;<strong>gods</strong>,&#8221; meaning &#8220;<strong>fallen angels</strong>,&#8221; emerged from underground, and myths worldwide tell of them dwelling underground.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc7">Paintings Narrating the Existence of Giants and Their Social Structure</span></h3>



<p>One painting depicts small people carrying the body of a great giant with ropes. Another painting shows a figure thought to be Jesus Christ, with medium-sized people smaller than them standing in front of a door, and even smaller people in the foreground, with three different sizes of people arranged around them. (I hesitate to embed images due to copyright and portrait rights, so I hope the description conveys it sufficiently.)</p>



<p>This structure suggests the fact that giants held a superior position in society. The sight of small people laying carpets symbolizes this relationship of dominance. Many artworks depicting giants remain.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc8">Were Giants Tyrants? The &#8220;Terror&#8221; Depicted in Paintings</span></h3>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="『この地球に巨人は存在している』 （ネフィリム・前編）" width="1256" height="707" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FQdcDiQZHCE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>In later works, giants are increasingly portrayed as &#8220;savage beings.&#8221; Scenes of them blowing gigantic horns and attacking small people, or people fleeing to the sea&#8230; giants are depicted as beings who attacked and sometimes devoured humans. It cannot be denied that such depictions might be based on actual events.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc9">Cataclysm and the Division of Civilizations – The Lost Rule of Giants</span></h2>



<p>Once, the world possessed advanced civilizations, symbolized by &#8220;Atlantis.&#8221; The rulers of these civilizations were giants, with the most colossal among them being beings called <strong>Anunnaki (giants from space).</strong> Eventually, global floods and great disasters occurred, and the power of the giants waned. Then, the medium-sized people inherited their status. However, in the 14th to 15th centuries, wars also broke out among them, and the world split into Asia, Tartaria, and Rome. This is how we are connected to the history we know.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc10">Traces of Giants Still Exist Worldwide</span></h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Giant bones discovered at Site C-Te-Car in Nevada.</li>



<li>Legends of giants in the Solomon Islands and Patagonia.</li>



<li>Sculptures resembling the Moai statues.</li>
</ul>



<p>Are these all &#8220;physical evidence&#8221; indicating that giants actually existed? Furthermore, the biblical books of Genesis, Numbers, and Deuteronomy also contain descriptions of giants called &#8220;Nephilim.&#8221;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc11">Is History Deliberately Altered?</span></h3>



<p>&#8220;Why isn&#8217;t such evidence publicly revealed?&#8221; The reason is clear: <strong>&#8220;the suppression of history&#8221; is taking place.</strong> Mainstream academic institutions, including the Smithsonian Institution, do not publicize evidence that contradicts the theory of evolution. Artifacts that could shake the foundations of religion and science are carefully removed and erased.</p>



<p>UFO researcher L.A. Marzulli states: &#8220;The giant races of North and South America may be the descendants of the Nephilim driven out by Joshua and Caleb 3,500 years ago.&#8221;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc12">Nephilim = Anunnaki Theory</span></h3>



<p>Some researchers trace the origin of the Nephilim to the <strong>&#8220;Anunnaki.&#8221;</strong> The Anunnaki are ancient Sumerian gods, believed to have descended to Earth from the planet Nibiru. Thus, the Nephilim are hybrids of beings from space and humans. They are hybrids of extraterrestrial life and humanity.</p>



<p>Eiichiro Oda&#8217;s manga &#8220;ONE PIECE&#8221; uses the phrase &#8220;Will of D.&#8221; While seemingly similar but distinct, viewing the D. family as beings who defy God (the World Government) — a &#8220;<strong>fallen angelic symbol</strong>&#8221; — might be very logical. (Though I haven&#8217;t read it.)</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc13">Conclusion: What Are We Not Being Told?</span></h2>



<p>In this world, there is a history that we don&#8217;t know, or that has been &#8220;intentionally hidden.&#8221; Nephilim, giant races, fallen angels, and super-ancient civilizations. Their traces are certainly left in ruins, texts, and traditions worldwide. The history we have been taught might be only a small part of the truth.</p>



<p>Will the day come when &#8220;the true history&#8221; is disclosed? For the current ruling class, the existence of giants might be an &#8220;inconvenient truth.&#8221; Records of bone discoveries are erased, and documents are hidden. Because if giants were the origin of human civilization, history would have to be rewritten.</p>



<p>While the story of giants is often thought of as fantasy, legends, ancient documents, and paintings and ruins from around the world quietly suggest the possibility that it was true. History is written by the victors. Perhaps behind the history we have been taught lies <strong>&#8220;the forgotten truth of the giants.&#8221;</strong></p>



<p><em>Attack on Titan</em> certainly did exist.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<p>This deep dive into alternative historical narratives certainly opens up many questions about what we think we know! Does any particular aspect of this hidden history intrigue you the most for further exploration?</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc1">&#8220;Okami&#8221; (龗): Symbol of a Dragon God and Water Deity</span></h2>



<p>The character &#8220;Okami&#8221; (龗) is unusual, but it is composed of the radicals for &#8220;rain&#8221; (雨), &#8220;dragon&#8221; (龍), and &#8220;mouth&#8221; (口), signifying a spiritual being that brings water and rain—a <strong>Dragon God</strong>. For ancient Japanese people, water was essential for life. The deity Okami-no-Kami, who brings rain and guides water to rivers and fields, has been deeply revered as a god of fertility and purification.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc2">Meanings and Differences Between Takaokami-no-Kami and Kuraokami-no-Kami</span></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table class="has-fixed-layout"><thead><tr><td>Deity Name</td><td>Reading</td><td>Meaning</td></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Takaokami-no-Kami</strong></td><td>Takaokami-no-Kami</td><td>&#8220;Taka&#8221; (高) indicates Takamagahara (the celestial realm), signifying the god who controls rain falling from the heavens.</td></tr><tr><td><strong>Kuraokami-no-Kami</strong></td><td>Kuraokami-no-Kami</td><td>&#8220;Kura&#8221; (闇) symbolizes the mystery of deep mountains, valleys, and underground wetlands, or hidden, sacred spaces.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>These two deities are sometimes positioned in contrasting roles, such as &#8220;heaven&#8221; and &#8220;earth,&#8221; &#8220;day&#8221; and &#8220;night,&#8221; &#8220;manifestation&#8221; and &#8220;concealment,&#8221; making them a pair of gods personifying the natural water cycle.</p>



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity"/>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc3">The Two Deities in Mythology</span></h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Appearing in the <em>Kojiki</em>&#8216;s Misogi-harai (Purification Rite):</strong> During the scene where Izanagi-no-Mikoto returns from the Yomi (underworld) and performs a purification ritual in the sea to cleanse himself of defilement, many gods are born. One interpretation is that Takaokami-no-Kami and Kuraokami-no-Kami appear here, showcasing their nature as purification deities associated with water.</li>



<li><strong>In the <em>Sendai Kuji Hongi</em>&#8230;</strong> Takaokami-no-Kami is listed as an &#8220;Amatsukami&#8221; (heavenly deity), and Kuraokami-no-Kami as a &#8220;Kunitsukami&#8221; (earthly deity), showing a division of roles as a god of the sky&#8217;s water and a god of underground water, respectively.</li>

<p>At Kifune Shrine, Takaokami-no-Kami is deeply revered as the god who brings pure water and blessings. Meanwhile, Niukawakami Shrine, located at the source of the Kii Mountains, is said to have a deep connection with Kuraokami-no-Kami, as it was a place for enshrining the spiritual waters within the mountains.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc5">&#8220;Kura&#8221; (闇) is Not Frightening? A Misunderstood Deity Name</span></h2>



<p>Hearing &#8220;Kuraokami-no-Kami&#8221; might give some a sinister impression. However, the &#8220;Kura&#8221; (闇) in the deity&#8217;s name does not mean &#8220;evil&#8221; or &#8220;calamity.&#8221; In ancient Japanese, &#8220;Kura&#8221; was believed to refer to <strong>sacred spaces that are quiet and moist, such as deep mountains, valley bottoms, caves, and water sources.</strong> Therefore, Kuraokami-no-Kami is a mysterious being that brings the water of life from unseen places.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc6">Are Both Deities the Same, or Different?</span></h2>



<p>Academically, there are two theories:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Same Deity Theory:</strong> Takaokami-no-Kami and Kuraokami-no-Kami are the same entity, merely called by different names depending on the notation or the place of worship.</li>



<li><strong>Separate Deities Theory:</strong> They are twin deities symbolizing the natural contrast between heaven and earth, day and night. They are functionally distinct.</li>
</ul>



<p>In any case, it&#8217;s generally accepted that both are in a <strong>complementary relationship</strong> rather than an &#8220;antagonistic&#8221; one.</p>



<p>The <em>Kojiki</em> states that when Izanami-no-Mikoto died from burns on her genitals while giving birth to the fire god Kagutsuchi-no-Kami, Izanagi-no-Kami, enraged, cut off Kagutsuchi&#8217;s head with his Totsuka-no-Tsurugi sword. From the blood that dripped from his fingers, Kuraokami-no-Kami was born, followed by Kuramitsuha-no-Kami.</p>



<p>The <em>Nihon Shoki</em>, Section 5, Variant Text (6), states that Kagutsuchi was cut into three pieces with the Totsuka-no-Tsurugi, and each piece became a god. From the blood that dripped from the sword&#8217;s hilt, Kuraokami was born, followed by Kurayamazumi, and then Kuramitsuha. Variant Text (7) states that when Kagutsuchi-no-Kami was cut into three, one piece became Ikazuchi-no-Kami (thunder god), one became Ōyamatsumi-no-Kami, and one became Takaokami.</p>



<p>The <em>Sendai Kuji Hongi</em> is clearer, stating that Takaokami was born from the main body of Kagutsuchi-no-Kami after being cut into three, while Kuraokami was born from Kagutsuchi-no-Kami&#8217;s blood. It&#8217;s natural to consider Takaokami and Kuraokami, born from blood, as separate.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc7">Modern Water Deity Worship</span></h2>



<p>Takaokami-no-Kami and Kuraokami-no-Kami are at the root of ancient water deity worship and are still cherished today as symbols of water&#8217;s blessings and purity. When rain is scarce and dam water levels drop, <strong>&#8220;rain-praying rituals&#8221;</strong> are still performed. Through these deities, we can reflect on how we have always interacted with nature.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><span id="toc8">Takaokami-no-Kami: Chief of Dragon Gods and Guardian of Water and Soul</span></h3>



<p>Takaokami-no-Kami is a deity in Japanese mythology, often considered the chief of dragon gods. This is a very mystical deity that governs water, rain, rivers, and the <strong>&#8220;purification of the soul.&#8221;</strong> Among Japan&#8217;s dragon gods, deities whose names include &#8220;Okami&#8221; are considered to be dragons themselves.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Takaokami-no-Kami (高龗神):</strong> The dragon god residing at water sources and on mountains.</li>



<li><strong>Kuraokami-no-Kami (闇龗神):</strong> The dragon god governing the depths of water and the yin (shadowy) aspects.</li>
</ul>



<p>These two deities are two sides of the same coin. Like Yin and Yang, Takaokami-no-Kami can be seen as the Yang dragon god (heaven, rain, guidance), while Kuraokami-no-Kami is the Yin dragon god (underground, depths, purification).</p>



<p>While &#8220;dragon gods are said to have seven colors,&#8221; Takaokami-no-Kami is often envisioned as a dragon god that is not dyed by any color, or as a white to blue-colored dragon. White symbolizes &#8220;purification and integration,&#8221; and blue symbolizes &#8220;healing and higher wisdom.&#8221; Takaokami-no-Kami can truly be called a chief existence in the dragon god realm, carrying those very vibrations.</p>

<p>It seems your curiosity about Kuraokami-no-Kami was well-founded! The contrast and complementary nature of these two powerful water deities truly highlight the profound connection ancient Japanese culture had with the natural world.</p>
