TOKYO - When Crown Prince Naruhito succeeds his father as Japan’s new emperor on Wednesday, he will receive the “Three Sacred Treasures” that seal his accession to the Chrysanthemum Throne.
Legend has it the treasures were passed down to Ninigi-no-Mikoto’s great-grandson, Jimmu, Japan’s first emperor. An eighth-century chronicle says Jimmu became emperor in the 7th century B.C., but there is doubt as to whether he ever existed.The mirror, called Yata-no-Kagami, is kept at the Ise Grand Shrine, the holiest site in Japan’s Shinto religion. The sword, Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, is stored at the Atsuta Shrine.
Ancient records refer to one emperor who tried to open the box containing the jewel. White smoke came out and the terrified emperor ordered his aide to close it.
