Ishikoridome
Japanese · deity · primordial · Recorded classification
The mirror she made is one of the three Imperial Regalia of Japan and is kept at Ise; the sword in this batch's Izumo section is the second and the jewel Tamanooya strung is the third. All three came out of this one episode and its aftermath, which means the objects that legitimate the Japanese throne were made by a smith, a jeweller and a swordsman's luck, and the registry held none of the three makers.
