Japan Shinto Shrine named “ AMATSU MI OYA-JINJA ” at Toshima-ku in Tokyo #
《 A name of Goddess 》
天照大御神, spells in a Kanji ( which came from Old china), but we just call ( express ) it ” AMA-TERASU-OO-MIKAMI ” in Japanese from of old because of a Kanji is not Japanese.
Most of Japanese spoken languages and expressions we are speaking is coming from “ YAMATO-KOTOBA ” as “ MANYOH--KOTOBA ” from of old ( about 16,000 years ago ).
《a Background 》
In a story of the birth-myth of Japan named “ KOJIKI =古事記 ” says that Once upon a time there lived Gods named ”IZANAGI=伊耶那岐神“ and ” IZANAMI =伊耶那美神“ in the heavenly world named “ TAKA-AMA-NO-HARA=高天原 ” and they made so many many Gods and when she had a God of fire named “ HI-NO-KAGU-TSUTI-NO-KAMI=火之迦具土神” in lastly, she has been dead in the cause of to be burnt at her privates.
”IZANAGI=伊耶那岐神“ lamented ( deplored ) for the death of her-self very very much and he could not give up for lost, so he went to the land of the dead ( Hades ) to take back a wife, but he could not it.(...sorry, shorten it as a long story..)...when he was returned to “ TAKA-AMA-NO-HARA=高天原 ”, many Gods were also born as soon as he washed his body to make his ablitions to wash off the dirty things of the land of the dead and lastly , when he washed his face, Gods of three were born;
①天照大御神 ( AMA-TERASU-OO-MI-KAMI ) from left eye.
②月読命 ( TSUKI-YOMI-NO-MIKOTO ) from right eye.
③建速｣須佐之男命 ( TAKE-HAYA-SUSA-NO-O-MIKOTO ) from nose.
And he gave the power of the rule in the heavenly world to ① and gave the power of the rule in the world of the night to② , and finaly he gave the power of the rule in the world of the sea to ③.
Incidentally, 天照大御神 ( AMA-TERASU-OO-MI-KAMI ) is a male ? or female ? or ??...Most of japanese people belive that is a Goddess and it seems to me that she has another name “ 大日孁貴神 ( OO-HIRU-ME-NO-MUTI )；
“大”＝”尊称“=a title of honor, ”日”＝“太陽”=SUN, “ 孁”＝“巫女”= a virgin consecrated to a deity, “貴”＝”高貴な者”=a person of noble birth.
But, it seems to me that 天照大御神 ( AMA-TERASU-OO-MIKAMI ) is just a male and maybe he is a God named “ 大物主神(OO-MONO-NUSHI-NO-KAMI )＝猿田毘古大神 ( SARUTA-BIKO-OO-KAMI )”
Because, these are some reasons why I contemplated it;
① A story named History is always remaking by the Winners ( in all over the world, of course, Japan, too.)
“ KOJI-KI” and “NIHON-SHOKI ” have remade by the winner named “ 藤原不比等＝HUJIWARA NO HUHITO ( AD 659-729 )” in ASUKA ERA ( AD 592-794 )...The truth is just in the dark.
② God is the cause of all things, but this concept was made by
human.
