"Hotsumatsutae" and Tohokamiemitame: The lost words of the gods and ancient wisdom
Although some consider the Hotsuma Tsutae to be a forgery, it has the mysterious power to give readers many new realizations and surprises.
It will also be an opportunity to learn about stories of the gods that are not mentioned in the Kojiki or Nihon Shoki, as well as the essence of customs that remain in Japan.
The Hotsuma Tsutae is similar to the "100 years of void" in One Piece, and makes sense.
I see! It teaches me a lot of things.
Of course, it's up to you whether you believe it or not (laughs).
In the Kojiki and Nihon Shoki, gods who seem important but are only mentioned by name appear in the Hotsuma Tsutae and are explained, so the historical timeline is also interesting.
It is also a valuable book that teaches me about customs that still remain in modern Japan, as well as things that I have seen or heard about but don't fully understand.
The ancient values taught by the Hotsuma Tsutae
- The "mi" in Omiki (sacred sake) is female and the "ki" is male. Women were the previous culture!
- "Kimi" not only refers to the Emperor, but also means "ki = male" and "mi = female" = the principle of nature.
- What does "Totsugu" mean? The new interpretation in the Hotsuma Tsutae is also interesting.
