古事記・因幡の白うさぎ/
The Kojiki – The Rabbit of Inaba
Susano-O, the brother of the sun goddess Amaterasu had children in Izumo.
Generations of his family lived there.
After many years, a god called Okuninushi was born.
He had 80 brothers.
One day, Okuninushi’s brothers were fighting.
They all want to marry the same beautiful young woman named Yakami-hime.
One of the brothers said,
“Let’s go and see Yakami-hime and ask her if she wants to marry one of us.”
So the brothers left their home for Inaba.
Okuninushi, the youngest of the brothers walked behind them carrying their bags.
When they reached a beach in Inaba, they found a rabbit with blood all over its body.
The brothers decided to play a trick on the rabbit.
“Rabbit, if you want to get well, you should take a bath in the salty ocean.
Then dry yourself with the wind and sun.”
Laughing the brothers went away.
The rabbit followed their advice.
The combination of ocean water, wind, and sun was terrible.
It hurt the rabbit even more.
The rabbit could not stop crying.
Just then, Okuninushi arrived at the beach.
He heard the rabbit crying and asked,
“What happened to you?”
The rabbit answered,
“I live on one of the islands nearby and I wanted to cross the sea.
I told some sharks that I was going to count how many there were.
So I asked them to get in a single line.
But it was a lie.
I was just using their backs to get here.
The only mistake I made was telling them about the lie before reaching the beach.
The sharks got really angry with me and pulled off all my fur.
It was terrible.
Then your brothers came and gave me some bad advice and it hurts even more now.”
Okuninushi felt sorry for the rabbit.
He said,
“Wash your body with fresh water.
Then sleep on a bed of these fluffy plants.
The rabbit followed Okuninushi’s advice and soon his soft white fur started to grow again.
The rabbit was thankful and said,
“Non of your brothers will marry Yakami-hime.
You will.”
Okuninushi was very surprised.
But the rabbit’s words came true.
This rabbit was actually a special servant of Yakami-hime.
The brothers of Okuninushi were very angery that he married Yakami-hime.
They made a lot of trouble for Okuninushi.
But in the end, he became the leader of Izumo.
