The Amano-iwato in the Myth of Japan

      The more tolerant the attitude of Amaterasu-oomikami was, the more reckless the demeanor of Susanou-no-mikoto became. We sometimes find such a case in our ordinary lives that tolerance and kindness make one grow imprudent regrettably. When he did more evil thing, throwing a dead house into the divine weaving house for clothes of deity, Amaterasu-oomikami, at last, hid herself in a cave, that was called Amano-iwato, and closed its entrance with a huge rock.
