Extractions: JAPANESE MYTHOLOGY Before I became interested in Blue Seed, I knew absolutely nothing about Japanese mythology. Since then, I have become interested in it and have learned enough to put me in the "dangerous" category. In this section I will try to impart some of what I have learned for those of you interested enough to have point and clicked your way here. But beware; you are learning from a novice, so read on with caution! Introduction In the Shinto religion, the are eight million kami, kami being the spirits of everything, from rocks and plants to men and gods. Most of the gods and the mythological tapestry of Japan are laid out in one of two books: the Kojiki Records of Ancient Matters and the Nihongo - Chronicles of Japan.

http://www.qube.malone.k12.ny.us/~franklin/japanesepage.htm

Extractions: Izanagi and Izanami stood on the Floating Bridge of Heaven and looked down into the abyss. They inquired of each other if there were a country far, far below the great Floating Bridge. They were determined to find out. In order to do so they thrust down a jeweled spear, and found the ocean. Raising the spear a little, water dripped from it, coagulated, and became the island of Onogoro-jima. The wish of these deities was fulfilled, for in due season Ama-terasu, the Sun Goddess, was born. She was known as "Heaven-Illumine-of-Great-Deity," and was so extremely beautiful that her parents determined to send her up the Ladder of Heaven, and in the high sky above to cast for ever her glorious sunshine upon the earth. Their next child was the Moon God, Tsuki-yumi. His silver radiance was not so fair as the golden effulgence of his sister, the Sung Goddess, but he was, nevertheless, deemed worthy to be her consort. So up the Ladder of Heaven climbed the Moon God. They soon quarreled, and Ama-terasu said: "You art a wicked deity. I must not see you face to face." They were therefore separated by a day and night, and dwelt apart.

Greater familiarity with this background can add a lot to the enjoyment of watching the series. I'm just going to cover a few of the basics here. The Oriental mystic system uses five elements, not the four we're more used to. The fifth is "Spirit", sometimes representing Life. (These five elements according to some sources may also be called Wood (Spirit), Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water - with "Metal" being the equivalent to Air in this case.) The Four Seasons were also quite important. The combination of Elements and Seasons made the number "nine" of utmost importance in the Oriental mystic system. (Somewhat similar to the importance that the numbers "five" and "seven" have in most European-based mystic systems I know of.) That's why Kaos created nine Yoroi - to use the mystic "ki" energy generated by that special number.

The roots of Japanese mythology are in the Shinto religion, in Taoism and in Zen Buddhism alike. Daruma is the founder of Zen Buddhism in Japan (552 AD). Originally an Indian priest named Bodhidharma, he crossed all over China to introduce Buddhism in Japan. The legend says that he crossed the sea from China to Japan standing on a bamboo. Daruma is mostly shown in a position of meditation. He is said to have lost the use of his arms and legs by meditating for nine years in a cave. Therefore he is often shown as Daruma doll without legs and arms. The Daruma dolls, or today simply called

Extractions: Up-and-coming challenger to undisputed champion to complete basket case in the span of two decades: The saga of the Japanese economy looks more and more like a late-1940s boxing melodramathough one imagines that if this were Hollywood, the producers would demand that Japan ultimately get up off the canvas and retake the title. Where's John Garfield when we need him? While that narrative may be accurate enough in broad outline, on the level of actual companies it tells the wrong story. The current stock market's infatuation with all things Internet has led to indefensible overestimation of the actual strength of most Net companies. So too has the prevailing picture of Japan as a sclerotic economy of tightfisted oversavers and corrupt politicians led to a dramatic underestimation of the crucial role the best Japanese companies still play in the global economy.

(Ohkuni-nushi was a Susano-o's son-in-low.) I think Izumo area was very close to Yamato area. But,I think the power of Yamato in mythological times is not the roots of Yamato Imperial Court. According to KOJIKI,Ohkuni-nushi choosed the God of Mt.Miwa as a partner in founding a country after Sukuna-bikona left him.Then,I looked up Mt.Miwa. Mt.Miwa has been a beautiful holy mountain and a symbol of Yamato area. Ancient document says there was a three imporant rocky points in Mt.Miwa. From top point,it was called 'Okutsu','Nakatsu',and 'Hentsu'. In each point,Ohmono-nushi,Ohkuni-nushi,and Sukuna-bikona were buried. This matter also means Izumo and Yamato were very closely related.

Extractions: Background Japanese Mythology If you understand Japanese mythological background, Blue Seed becomes more interesting. I'm not an authority on the subject, but since misconceptions about the background seems to abound, I thought I'll put up a digest version of the relevant myths. In part 1, I'll talk mainly about the Susanooh/Kushinada/Orochi legend, in part 2, I'll talk about the myths surrounding specific Aragami that have parallels in Japanese legends. The Story of Su-sa-no-oh Susanooh-no-mikoto, or Susanooh, is a younger brother of the Sun Goddess Amaterasu-oh-mi-no-kami. Both are children of Izanagi and Izanami, so in Japanese mythology, they are the great dieties. Susanooh is entrusted with the governance of the seas, but was infamous for his wild behavior in Takaamagahara (heaven), frequently wrecking things and causing general mayhem. This at one point leads to Amaterasu hiding in a cave in despair, causing the world to plunge to utter darkness, but that's another story. Anyway, due to his wild behavior, he is vanished from the heavens and descends to earth in Izumo region. Susanooh is a strange god in that he is regarded as a barbaric god out of control while in Takaamagahara (heaven), but when he descends to earth, he is regarded as a hero and a peaceful god who governs mountain and water. I'm not sure what this means for Blue Seed, but anthropologically, this is sometimes regarded as a technique used by the Yamato dynasty to subjugate all of Japan; Susanooh is thought to be a god of the natives, among whom he was regarded as a hero, but from Yamato dynasty's point of view (more civilized), this probably appeared barbaric indeed. It is thought that the crafty Yamato dynasty folk incorporated an already established native god-figure to their imperial view and used him as a legitimate reason to subjugate rest of Japan.

http://www.tachikara.com/mythology.asp

Extractions: According to Japanese legend... Amaterasu-Omikami, the Goddess of Sun, hid herself in a rock cave because she was infuriated by the rude behavior that was shown by her younger brother, Susan-No-Mikoto, the God of Prowess. When she hid herself, the world became dark, and all the people were put into a state of panic and confusion. In order to get Amaterasu-Omikami to come out of the cave, all of the Gods and Godesses gathered together in front of the cave opening and started a sake drinking party. At this party, Ameno-Uzumeno-Mikoto, the beautiful Goddess of Dance and Music, began to perform authentic Japanese dance. All of the Gods and Godesses that were gathered there applauded joyfully. When she heard the applause, Amaterasu-Omikami opened the door slightly and peeked out to see what was going on. Seeing that the door had opened slightly, Tachikara-Ono-Mikoto quickly inserted his arm into the cleft of the rock, and with all his power, pulled the cave door open. Once again the light of the Sun shone all over the world, and normal living was restored to all the people.
