Hikohibidemi no Mikoto (Emperor Jinmu, the first emperor) was born from the belly of a dragon. The eight-forked serpent of Koshi (later Koshi) and the dragon palace of the sea god Yahirowani, which appear in Japanese mythology, have been handed down to the present day. The Japanese dragon is considered to be a fusion of the originally Japanese belief in nature worship as a god and the patterns and Chinese dragons imported from China. The dragon is connected to the four gods and five beasts, and the blue dragon in particular is famous for being depicted in its present form in ancient tombs. The Kutsura Ryu, Nine-headed Dragon, and Zenjo Ryuoh (Seitakigongen) legends are also well-known, which are a fusion of the legend of the mythical eight-forked serpent and the Buddhist legend of the eight great dragon kings. The dragon in the northern region of Koshikuni, etc., was called the Black Dragon. The mirage of the dragon's palace and the sacred turtle Mount Horai are said to be auspicious.
In the days when flood control and irrigation technology was in its infancy, people offered food and sacrifices to the dragon god when rivers overflowed or there was a drought. In the Shinto religion, the dragon goddess was represented as Kushinadahime, and in the Buddhist religion, high priests prayed to her to pray for rain. There is a famous anecdote about Kukai praying in Shinsen-en (south of Nijo Castle) and invoking the Zenjo Ryuoh (Seitakigongen) to bring rain.
The sword was also believed to be an incarnation of a fiery dragon. The Ama-no-Murakumo Sword (later the Kusanagi Sword) was worshipped at Ise Jingu Shrine (later Atsuta Jingu Shrine) as a sacred weapon representing that the sword born from the eight-forked serpent was the emperor, and it was also considered a guardian deity. In the Middle Ages, swords and helmets were decorated with dragon figures and used in warfare.
In addition, he became an object of folk belief as a god of water and a god of war in many places. It symbolizes the fact that the Japanese archipelago is a land of water.
