Glancing at the precious sword, Susanow-no-mikoto at once comprehended that it was so precious that he could not possess it by himself. Then, he decided to offer it to Amatu-kami, or Amaterasu-oomikami if we adopt the description of the Kojiki. Indeed, the precious sword, Kusanagi-no- turugi has been one of the three sacred treasures which is said to be tokens of legitimacy of the Tennow. Mysteriously enough, this sacred sword has been enshrined at the Atuta-jinngu in Nagoya, while the sword in the palace should be imitation or other precious ancient sword.
