Note 26 — Chapter XIX · Rival Deities of Life and Death, Sunshine and Storm
Reading edition
Ama-terâsu asked Susa-no-wo for his sword. He gave it to her and she broke it into three pieces. She then made a jingling sound with her jewels, brandished and washed them in the True-Pool-Well of Heaven26 and “crunchingly crunched them”. Then from the mist (of her breath) were born the deities Torrent-Mist-Princess, Lovely-Island-Princess, and Princess-of-the-Torrent.
