Ototachibanahime was the wife of Yamato Takeru. Yamato Takeru's father is the 12th emperor (Emperor Keiko). Yamato Takeru was born a great warrior with a large body. His father, Emperor Keiko, thought that if he were with such a terrifying man, he would one day be killed. So his father urged Yamato Takeru to fight to conquer those who did not obey the government in remote areas of Japan in order to keep him out of the house. His wife, Ototachibanahime, was always with me in the battle. Yamato Takeru is ordered to subdue the country (Emishi) east of Japan. Tired of the days of fighting, Yamato Takeru, who continued to kill people, gradually became confused about what he was fighting for. And Yamato Takeru went to consult with his aunt (Yamato Hime), who is the best understanding person. Yamato Takeru asked, "Aunt, does my father want me to die sooner? I conquered Kumaso and Izumo, but I couldn't get more soldiers, and I was told to immediately subdue Emishi in the east, "said Yamato Takeru, tearing for the first time. He confessed hin heart. Yamato Hime learned that Yamato Takeru knew the intention of Emperor Keiko. She also thought he was right. However, it was certain that the situation in Japan was such that the eastern country could not be ignored. His gentle aunt, Yamato Hime, said that Emperor Keiko could only make Japan peaceful by Yamato Takeru. So he told Yamato Takeru that he trusts you. Since Yamatohime was the founder of Ise Jingu, she bestowed a tool of divine power for her cute nephew. "Mysterious bag" and "Amanomurakumonotsurugi" that can be opened when in trouble. "The sword that Susanoo took out of [Yamata no Orochi] and presented to Amaterasu." In this way, Yamato Takeru will head for the eastern expedition. Yamato Takeru stayed in Owari no Kuni (Atsuta) on the way. And I spent the night with Miyazuhime. At that time,"Amanomurakumonotsurugi" shined divinely. Yamato Takeru knew that Miyazuhime was shining because she had tremendous spiritual power, and immediately made an engagement vow. And he promised to return to dedicating this sword at the end of the eastern expedition. At that time, his wife, Ototachibanahime, was looking at them from a distance and shed tears. And Yamato Takeru's army enters Sagami Province. An official of Sagami Province told Yamato Takeru, "There is a large field ahead, and there is a group of very rough bandits near the swamp. Without listening to my order from the official, I consulted with him, "They are looting and looting as much as They wants. What can I do?" Yamato Takeru promised to conquer the bandits. The next day, Yamato Takeru and his party headed to the field where the bandits were. When I heard from an official that a bandit was hiding in the depths of the grassland, Yamato Takeru's party immediately proceeded while squeezing through the grass. Then, fire arrows flew one after another over Yamato Takeru's head. Fire arrows ignited one after another around Yamato Takeru and his party. The fire burned the dead grass in the fields one after another, and it burned vigorously in the wind, and in a blink of an eye, Yamato Takeru and his party were put into the sea of fire. In a hurry, Yamato Takeru looked back at his official. Then he saw an official standing with a bandit, laughing. The official was just pretending to be Yamato Takeru's vassal, and in fact he betrayed him and became a bandit, plotting a rebellion against Yamato Takeru. The rebels returned with a laugh, thinking that Yamato Takeru would eventually burn to death. Yamato Takeru's wife, Ototachibanahime, suffers from breathlessness in the burning flames. Yamato Takeru carried his wife on his back and became a wall to keep her wife out of the fire. At that time, he remembered what his aunt Yamatohime said. She said, "When in trouble, open this bag." Yamato Takeru immediately opened the bag. There was a flint in it. Then, Yamato Takeru used his "Amanomurakumonotsurugi" to shave off the grass around him. A sword with the power of God. In a blink of an eye, the grass around Yamato Takeru and his party disappeared, creating a safe zone and preventing the oncoming fire from coming. Next, Yamato Takeru threw the cut grass into the distance with tremendous force and burned it with flint. The grass thrown in the distance also ignited, and the fire disappeared from the place where Yamato Takeru was. And the fire spread to the surroundings, burning the fields and then extinguishing. Yamato Takeru immediately went to the official's house and slashed the official, his family, and the bandits with a single blow. And he set the mansion on fire and burned everything down. And he named the place a burnt remains And he named the land a 「burnt place」(Yakitsu). Yamato Takeru goes further east. To get from Sagami Province (Kanagawa Prefecture) to Kazusa Province (Chiba Prefecture), he had to cross the Uraga Suido by boat. However, Yamato Takeru made a fool of the sea, saying, "What a small sea it is. It looks like you can jump up and cross it!" And he went out to sea with his companions. The god of the sea is angry and raging when he hears the words. The sea was rough and the boats they were on couldn't move forward and even turn back. If left as it is, all the ships will sink and Yamato Takeru and his party will be wiped out. As expected, Yamato Takeru couldn't do anything against the sea. Then hin wife, Ototachibanahime, said, "This is the wrath of the sea god. I calm the wrath of the sea god. I love you who protected me in the battle in Yaizu. It is my wish that your life will continue and that you will fulfill your role, "she said, jumping into the raging sea. Then, as soon as They saw it, the waves and wind became calm, and Yamato Takeru and his party were able to cross the sea safely. Ototachibanahime saved her husband Yamato Takeru at the expense of her life. Yamato Takeru arrives in Kazusa (Chiba Prefecture) and is overwhelmed by sadness. For a while, I searched for Ototachibanahime. Seven days later, I found a comb of Ototachibanahime. He also discovers the sleeves of Ototachibanahime's kimono separately on the left and right. Therefore, the beach where the kimono drifted was named "Sodegaura". Yamato Takeru founded the Tachibanaju Shrine in Kazusa to dedicate the comb of Ototachibanahime. Since ancient times, the comb has had many magical meanings, so Yamato Takeru dedicated the soul of Ototachibanahime to the comb. The tachibana tree is a mandarin orange tree, but in the land of the eternal world, it has a mysterious power, and it is said to be a plant with a lot of spiritual power that buds, flowers, and fruits are at the same time. The Tachibana tree is also the crest of many samurai families. Yamato Takeru always remembers Ototachibanahime in this eastern land. He was always sad, "Oh, my wife." Because it is always said in "wagatuma!", "east land" came to be called "Azuma" by (my wife is Wagatuma). Ototachibanahime knew the engagement vow between Yamato Takeru and Miyazuhime, and was afraid that his existence would one day interfere with Yamato Takeru's work. She also thanked and loved Yamato Takeru for protecting herself in the flames. So she was the goddess of love and courage who saved Yamato Takeru in exchange for her life.
