The Myth and the History of Japan

      Finally, rebuking the rude behaviors, the myriads of Japanese deities decided to punish and exile Susanou-no-mikoto from Takamanohara. From this story we cannot ascertain whether Susanou-no-mikoto was innocent or not when he ascended to salute his elder sister, Amaterau-oomikami. If, however, this myth suggests the historical fact in Japan, the relations of the two of three influential nations, maybe near of kin each others, in Yayoi age would have become tense or have been in conflict.
