Haraedo Shrine - Tenri

You found the sword here, didn't you? The myth was not a lie. I want to see where the sword was buried.

The deity god is the sword that Takemikazuchi god was carrying on the Izumo expedition. It is also a spirit sword that revived Emperor Jinmu, who was poisoned by evil gods when Kumaguchi Hammer God descended to Takakura's decency in Kumano during the Tosho of Emperor Jinmu. In the seventh year of Emperor Sojin, he moved from Miyanaka to Ishigami-no-Furutaka Niwa, where he was deeply buried in the ground and praised as Ishigami Okami. . This Nuno Takaniwa is considered a "prohibited foot". In 1873, Masatomo Kan of Miyashi excavated this place. Is the god sword buried as shown in the shrine? If you can find it, let's worship in the main hall. And anti-theft measures. Can I leave it to stolen? The damage has been done. The excavation was successful and the god sword came out. Masaaki Okita, who worked at the Tenri Reference Hall, wrote about the circumstances around here in "The Establishment of a Forbidden Foot". Excavation situation. Digging 30 cm, tiles were laid. When this was removed and dug below, there was a stone fence. He found a sword, magatama, tube, etc. 90 cm below the ground. Since the side wall is "stacking stones of one or more lengths", it is like a stone room with two or more steps. It is not known whether the stone room walls were stone slabs or rubble. There is no tradition, but if the pillars at the excavation site were to convert stone chamber materials, they would be granite boulders. The structure of the stone chamber and the composition of the relics are similar to those of the pit-type and horizontal-hole stone chambers of the Kofun period. Infer the peculiar structure of pit system using granite. This tumulus is early in the middle of the Kofun period, judging from the items found.
