More on identity: Yamata no Orochi (八岐大蛇; often
called Orochi in
English) is a monster in Japanese mythology.
Orochi is alternately described as an eight-headed snake, dragon, or
even a Japanese version of the Lernaean Hydra. It is one of the
best-known monsters in Japanese myth. It was slain by the god Susanoo
after he was cast out of Heaven. Though a number of Japanese
literatures describe Orochi as a gigantic serpent, some medieval
sources describe it as a dragon.
Stories told about Orochi all seem to agree that it was truly
magnificent and terrible, and that it had multiple heads and a
gigantic body that was said to stretch across eight hills and valleys.
Some sources offer that the number eight may be indicative of simply
an indiscriminate large number, and that Orochi might be much more
massive than some may think. Some also believe that it may have
possessed only seven heads and may have been smaller.
The sinister Orochi is said to have dominated the Izumo province in
Japan, and to have demanded virgin sacrifices. When Susanoo came upon
this area, he met an old couple. They told him that their daughter was
to be sacrificed to Orochi. Some versions of this story say that they
had already sacrificed seven other girls to the creature. The daughter
in question here was named Kushinada, and since she was a beautiful
and kind young girl Susanoo fell in love with her. He told the couple
that he would rescue Kushinada if he was allowed to marry her. The
couple agreed at once.
Susanoo turned Kushinada into a comb and put her in his hair. He then
put out eight barrels of either pears or sake (depending on the
version) which the dragon drank with relish, making it fall asleep,
and Susanoo proceeded to cut off all of Orochi's heads. He found the
sword, Ame-no-Murakumo (later named Kusanagi), in one of the serpent's
many tails. In some versions, Kusanagi is called Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi,
'The Grass-Cutting Sword', and this sword was given to Amaterasu,
Susanoo's sister, the Sun Goddess, as a gift of reconciliation. She
then gave it to her descendant on Earth, Ninigi-no-Mikoto; from that
point on it is said that it has been kept as one of the Three Sacred
Treasures of Yamato.
