Amewakahiko in the Kojiki

      By the way, the situation of the funeral of Amewakahiko described in the Kojiki is different from that of the Chronicle of Japan. In the Kojiki, the place where the funeral held was in the Izumo and Amatukunitama-no-kami came down from the Takamanohara to mourn for his son. This situation is just the opposite! This curious incompatibility between both of the history books must have been caused by circumstances of the ancient Japan which had managed to integrate small tribe nations into a single one. Even though they saw a same historical event, each of them should have described it from their own points of view.
