Abstract

The tale of Ohokuninusi is defined as what is called a growth myth of Ohokuninusi. And it has been explained that a coming-of-age ceremony, a difficult problem son-in-law's folk customs, etc. essentially serve as a backdrop as for the visit myth of Nenokatasukuni. However, probably, it will be effective only at a traditional talk type. Another viewpoint is required for assistance of Suseribime to a difficult problem. If it puts in another way, in the "Kojiki", there is decided composition and it has just been going to spell this suiting the compilation purpose. The myth of Ohokuninusi also tried to make the history of the new age of the gods according to it. As inquired, Ohokuninusi got the treasure of Susanowo and had become a birth myth suitable for the head of country god equipped with the power, but Suseribime of the daughter who became a wife was deeply concerned with the background. Simultaneously, the visit myth has also inherited the negative legacy of Susanowo. That the place named Ohokuninusi is a boundary called Yomotsuhirasaka is making the world composition of the “Kojiki” first volume (age of the gods account) evoke. If it puts in another way, Ohokuninusi connected with Susanowo which committed crime on heavens and was banished means becoming the Takamanohara and an exclusive relation. Thus, the visit myth of Nenokatasukuni is making the composition that I can check that Susanowo is deeply concerned with divinity formation of Ohokuninusi.
