Amaterasu is mentioned in the Kojiki as the sun goddess who
was born from Izanagi, who also accompanied by his brother, Susanoo, the ruler
of the storm. In the Kojiki, Amaterasu is described as the goddess from whom
all light comes from, and is often interpreted as Jurassic sun goddess because
of her warmth and concern for meraka who adore him; an interpretation of
"light" or "heat" as passion, or purity. It is almost like
an interpretation, seeing action in line with his brother, Susano'o, he fled to
a cave, Ama-no-Iwato with shame, extinguish the light it emits and plunged the
world into darkness.
Along with seeing the use of force by Susano'o, Amaterasu
took precautions and prepare a place bows and arrows at his side. Aside the
fact that this bias is seen as a hasty decision, to see Amaterasu, Susano'o
determined to find her mother in the underworld. Nevertheless, it is noted that
Susano'o fear defeat, so he understands the state of the world has been
disturbing, and it's very possible for Amaterasu worry Susano'o have visited
the underworld, and returned in a state of satisfaction or changed.
The other gods begged him come out, but failed. Then the
goddess Ama-no-Uzume had an idea. He hung a mirror (kagami 镜) from the
nearest tree, organized a celebration and performed an erotic dance in front of
the cave. It made the other gods laugh so loud that Amaterasu became curious
and peeked out. She saw herself in the mirror, which surprised him how the
other gods could pull her out and convince him to go back into space.
Then she sent her grandson Ninigi-no-Mikoto to pacify Japan:
great-grandfather became the first emperor Jimmu Emperor. With him he had a
sacred sword (Kusanagi), jewel (Yasakani no Magatama) and mirror (Yata no
kagami) that became the royal regalia.
Amaterasu is also credited with inventing the cultivation of
rice and wheat, the use of silkworms, and weaving with a loom. Her most
important shrine, the Ise Grand Shrine, Japan on the island of Honshu. The
temple is torn down and rebuilt every twenty years. In the temple he was
represented by a mirror, one of three royal regalia of Japan.
Prehistoric
Archaeological research indicates that early humans
inhabited the Japanese have at least 600,000 years ago, during the Lower
Paleolithic. After a couple of ice ages that occurred during millions of years
ago, Japan several times connected with the mainland Asia via the land bridge
(with Sakhalin in the north, and the possibility of Kyushu in the south), thus
allowing the movement of people, animals, and plants to the Japanese
archipelago from the region which is now China and Korea. Paleolithic Period
Japanese produce equipment that has been polished stone of the first in the
world, circa 30,000 BCE. With the end of the last ice age and the coming of the
warmer periods, Jomon culture emerged at around 11,000 BC, which is
characterized by hunter-gatherer lifestyle (hunter-gatherer) semi-sedentism
Mesolithic to Neolithic and earliest manufacture of pottery in the world. It is
estimated that the Jomon people were the ancestors of the tribe Proto-Japanese
and the Ainu of today. The start of the Yayoi period around 300 BC marked the
influx of new technologies such as rice farming, irrigation and permbuatan iron
and bronze, which was taken as well as migrants from Korea, China and other
parts of Asia. Kofun period followed a period in about the year 250, which is
characterized by the establishment of the countries a strong military.
In the year 538, the arrival of Buddhism marked the onset of
Classical Period. Classical Period According to traditional Japanese mythology,
Japan was founded by Emperor Genie in the 7th century BC, who started the chain
of emperors who still have not given up until now. Even so, throughout its
history, for most of the real power in the hands of members of the palace, the
shoguns, the military, and in modern times, the prime minister. Part history of
Japan left the record began in the 5th century and 6th centuries AD, when
Chinese writing system, Buddhism, and other Chinese culture were introduced
Baekje, a kingdom in Korea. Through the Taika Changes in Command 645, Japan reinforce
the use of Chinese cultural practices, and reorder system of government with
the example of China. This paved the way for the Chinese Confucian philosophy
(Confucianism) is dominant in Japan until the 19th century. Nara period in the
8th century marked a strong Japanese state centered on an imperial palace in
the city Heijō-kyo (now Nara). Imperial court later moved to Nagaoka and then
Heian-kyo (now Kyoto), start the "golden age" of classical Japanese
culture called the Heian period.
