| 概要 | In the “Slaying of the Great Eight-Headed Serpent,” one of the most iconographic episodes in Japanese myth, the god Susanoo rescues a maiden from a dragon and marries her. Comparing the Japanese narra...tive with international dragon-slayer tales, this essay draws attention to the dragon’s close connection to water and iron. It argues that myths have to be adapted to new circumstances in order to remain relevant to the group that transmits them. In the myth of Susanoo’s dragon fight, as related in the ancient chronicles Kojiki and Nihon shoki, these repeated adaptations are still visible as various layers of meaning. The essay illuminates some of these layers and connects them to cultural techniques such as wet-rice cultivation or metallurgy. This approach makes it possible to trace the evolution of the myth, which found its culmination in the written versions of the early eighth century.続きを見る |
