NIHONJIN-RON The special unique qualities of the Japanese people. Modern myth. See Japanese Uniqueness. NINIGI-NO-MIKOTO Grandson of Amaterasu-õ-mikami and founder of the imperial house. Ninigi-no-mikoto known as the heavenly grandson was charged with assuming rule over the Central Land of the Reed Plains which under Okuninushi s governance had become troubled and disordered. He received the position after his father had abdicated in his favor. Five future clan heads and several deities some armed were assigned as his assistants they eventually became the ujigami ancestral deities of several clans. This myth argue many scholars may well be an account of the struggle between the Yamato and other nations and traditions for control of the Japanese islands. Ninigi-no-mikoto his full name is given as Ame-Nigishi-Kuninigishi-Amatsu-hiko-no-ninigi-no-mikoto was given three items as symbols of his rank and mission and as shintai objects of worship . These were the string of myriad magatama jewels the mirror that drew Amaterasu from her cave and the sword Kusanagi that Susano-wo had cut from the tail of the eight-headed serpent and given Amaterasu in apology for his sinful acts. In his conquest Ninigi was guided by Sarutahiko-no-kami and advised by Ama-no-uzume. He settled in Himuka on the island of Kyushu. Besides the story of his descent from heaven which constituted a charter for the Yamato ruling house in its conquest of Japan most notably of its most serious rivals in Izumo Ninigi features in two other myths concerning his spouse and children whose significance is that they mark the beginning of the process of separation between the deities and the emperors their descendants. Ninigi-no-mikoto met Kõnõhanasakuya-hime and proposed marriage. Her father the earth-mountain kami Oyamatsumi-no-kami agreed and sent the bride rich bridal gifts along with Konohanasakuya-hime s ugly older sister as second bride.
