Now she was one of those women who liked to have order everywhere. So she made her son Ninigi a human being, sent him down to found a new race, and ordered him to see that his children and children’s children should rule justly over the land she gave them―and that land was Japan. Before Ninigi went down to the earth, his mother gave him three presents. The first was a mirror, which was an emblem of her own soul; the second was a sword made by the gods themselves, so sharp that it could cut through almost anything; and the third was a fine ball of crystal. © Copyright 2022 Adamorbis, LLC.
