Susano-o · Chapter 5 of 6
The Sword in the Tail
Kusanagi · A long journey · An object unseen
He kept nothing from the serpent except the story.
Japanese tradition follows the sword out of the serpent's tail a very long way. Susanoo sends it up to Amaterasu as a gift, a peace offering from an exiled brother. Generations later it is given to the hero Yamato Takeru, who uses it to cut grass and escape a burning field, and from that it takes the name Kusanagi, the grass-cutter. It is counted among the three imperial regalia and is said to be kept at Atsuta Shrine, where it is not shown to anyone.
